yep - that's exactly what I'm saying.

It's pretty simple.  A library submitted for review is not yet a boost 
library.  It's submitted with the idea that should it be accepted into 
boost it will be "boostified".  To require this extra work on a library 
which might not be accepted has always been considered an overly onerous 
requirement for review.

Off topic - I believe that boost libraries should also work outside of 
boost.
