I disagree with this - the proposal was complete, the design was
explicitly derived from examples of prior art, and there was working
code. I also designed it that way specifically because I think it
interacts well with existing concepts, and in particular better than the
other proposed solutions. but this is necessarily subjective.
However, I do agree with your conclusion that more work is needed, and
that's what counts :)
