With all due respect, Simon, you've missed the point completely. If
you have done any work on this whatsoever, *NOW* is the time to share
it and going forward, immediately publishing any change, is the way to
keep it shared.

Working off in splendid isolation, while it may appeal to you, is the
wrong move. Guaranteed tears.

Cheers,
David.
