Agreed.
I find that a big part of the bulk is multiple proposals, sometimes verbatim, from multiple people.
I understand that in the name of fairness, they have to include every one of them, but it does make it quite a sizable tome.
I download the file of all 1,200 pages and just keep it open. I read a few pages at break, another few more at lunch, skip past the 50th proposal to mandate some prorietary new product...it takes me about a week of short bursts to get through it. But if it kills stupid stuff before it gets into the book I consider it time well spent.
It's also possible to just keep skipping ahead to the word "accepted" and gloss over all of the things that the CMP already turned down.
Proposals for the 2014 Code cycle are due November 4, 2011.
