Option 1 suggests the removal of requiring the "synthesis"
attribute... Keeping "synthesis" suggests that we are creating
a domain (which is what we thought we were doing). Since it
doesn't, this could lead to confusion.
Your note says that we are making the first land grab and
everyone else had better get outa da way (or did I misread
the intent?). Removal of the "synthesis" attribute would
make it crystal clear what you mean by the added statement.
