RE: [sv-bc] e-mail ballot: respond by Dec 3, 8am PST

Okay, I looked at 1119 and I agree with Shalom on this.  I didn't know
about this other mantis item.  It most definitely handles the additional
text added below. 

I have struck out the description and examples relating to macro
argument and embedded macro replacement and uploaded another version of
this proposal. Given 1119 eventually getting into the LRM with this
proposal, the description and examples should all flow much better
logically.

I think this should be worthy of approval now. 

Thanks, -Tom
