Gareth, I know that my responses so far must seem
discouraging. My thoughts I have already offered are
an attempt to help. The thing is, the body of work you
have set yourself is very large. Technical review of
document of this size is premature at this stage of
development.
There are two approaches that I see:
1. Fix all (well, most of) of the errors in the entire
document, and then resubmit for technical review.
As you yourself note, this is an enormous task.
However, until you do it, simply resubmitting
is likely to run into the same resistance you've
already encountered.
2. Start with a document subset (a much smaller one),
find and fix the errors, and resubmit for technical
review. This seems more manageable for everyone
concerned. (I don't say it's less work: just more
manageable.) As part of this process, it would be
useful to consult with others on content and
direction of the document.
Cheers,
Michael
