Well, I think we know what the shared values of WP are.  We also know that
they are shared by many people who disagree about other things, but can
rally around NPOV as expressing 'agree to disagree' in a constructive form.
So I'm concerned that NPOV could be seen as something disposable.  It is
always under pressure from tendentious contributions, as it is.
