I'd like everyone to read that sentence many times.

And then remember: Nothing we do will affect the SWF, which will 
remain fixed for five years. We can make corrections to the 
orthography and publish our grammar (giving its rationale for the 
corrections) and publish books which we hope will be popular.

We are not right now engaged in a negotiation exercise with the 
future CLP committee that will review the SWF for faults. We are 
engaged in an exercise in putting right what is wrong with it so that 
we can have an orthography -- better and more robust and more 
authentic than UC or RLC or KK or UCR or the SWF -- that we can use 
now.
