Actually, that's not quite right.  When it gets to dpANS we are reduced to a
binary yes/no decision.  The only time we get to have directed and specific
input is during the evolution of BASIS, i.e.,
 right now.

Yes, you can make comments to ANSI, but these will only serve to influence
their accept/reject decision.  If enough negative comments are received, ANSI
will send it back for more work.  There's no "line item veto" of dpANS.
