Gonzo, could I suggest that you, as an ATCO, post a draft submission here on what you'd like to see replace the existing mess? If you did, I'm sure there'd be a few suggestions from the pilot fraternity offering variations.
I'd just like to see something in print that reflects what we'd actually like to do - and what you guys on the ground would like us to do.
(Something like this, by the way, is what Pprune used to be all about and should still be all about, rather than the slanging match it's become on all too many threads.)
