I just don't want items still in flux to be translated.  We're
still dealing with questions like "should we include periods at
the ends of lists" and "what material belongs in NR 1, and what
belongs in NR 3".  If people start translating NR 1 now, they
might need to completely redo their work once we've rewritten
those sections as part of GDP.  I'm trying to save you guys effort
in the long run!

Instead, I want to get NR 1 finished, so that we *know* that the
policies are completely and good quality.  I honestly think that
the best thing you could do for the translations is to finish
Staff, so that we can get public comments on it, discover other
missing/bad policies, and then finally have a good set of docs to
begin translating.
