Yep! A number of PEPs have "Objections" sections. I think that'd be a good title for it.
Yes, that was my thought. Have the PEP author include a summary of the major objections, and their defense to those objections. (The presence of the defense doesn't mean that the object HAS been overcome, but documents the authors opinion of why the PEP should be able to be accept dispite that objection, the final decision still will rest on the Steering Committee or their delegate). If the Objections section is well written, then opponents can refer to the section and simply restate their objection, and it will somewhat organize the opposition. If the Objections section is NOT well written, that might be a sign that the PEP needs work as the author doesn't seem to have understood some of the objections, and cleaning up that section may bring more clarity to the PEP as a whole. -- Richard Damon
