Folks-
I've given a bunch of text suggestions to Flemming because
they are cumbersome to send out, but I would like to make two
further suggestions to  the Collaboration.

1)On page 4 (top) where we discuss the "potential experimental
signatures", I propose we give "real" experimental signatures together with
the theoretical quantities they are taken to represent. For example we say
"large energy density" but the measurement is (maybe) energy loss or dN/dY,
entropy growth=total multiplicty, thermodynameic variables= differential
spectra, yields, ratios, etc. We could then readily identify these measured
quantities to the experimental paragraphs that follow.

2)For the conclusions perhaps we could note that prior to the
experimental results many of the accepted predictions were flawed: the
multiplicity was expected to be larger, the elliptic flow negligible, the
(HBT)source size larger,  etc.  Thus the theoretical considerations have
lagged the experimental measurements.  The more recent theory is based on
new mesurements and not predictive of them. We must await new experimental
results that verify these new predictions in order to become comfortable
with the new model. As Michael says this is not the QGP we were brought up
on.
