I think you miss Jimbos point by a country mile. The status quo on
wikipedia is to "continue to dialog about possibilities which would
be satisfactory to all sides." - what Jimbo is suggesting here is
nothing new, it is the *normal* way we do things around here, when
we are at our best. Recalcitrance does happen, but it is *not* a best
practise.
