I am sorry if I may have given the impression that I see it in any different
way. I do not. I wholeheartedly agree with the above.

Then why doesn't it say so? And why was all this not announced on tech-talk?

Unfortunately I am in no position to provide funding. OTOH, I already started
writing detailed technical comments on the individual sections of the
document to point out weaknesses and provide feedback. I am quite familiar
with CA myself which may help me to make the right guesses at what is
probably meant by the more obscure explanations in the document. I am doing
this in my spare time.

I never wanted to start one. I offered criticism (which was never meant
personally) and made a number of reasonable suggestions regarding the
organisation of the collaboration on this. If that is interpreted as starting
a flame-war, I will keep my mouth shut tight.
