the other point to make is that this is a really bad example of
how to do a consultation - the proposals are put forward but
no real alternatives are presented, and you've no idea if free
text comments are read or how they are processed, so the
consultation will end up confirming the general drift of the
policy proposal and tweaking some of the fine detail - but
that's the kind of democracy we live in!
