ARRL's own "Comments of Petitioner" were filed over the weekend:
http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7521063715.  They provide an
attractive target for Reply Comments - particularly the assertion that
the petition "would *not* [their emphasis] ... B. Have any effect on CW 
operation in the HF bands."  or "the petition would not initiate any
broad plan to convert to regulation of emissions by bandwidth rather
than by emission type."

Both assertions are open to vigorous debate.  As is the wisdom of
rejecting 80 years of a regulatory framework which specifically seeks
to protect narrow bandwidth modes against interference from wide
bandwidth modes as reaffirmed by the Commission a recently as WT Docket 
04-140 which states in 13 (page 9): " ...  we note that eliminating or
relaxing the bandwidth limitation would de facto eliminate the 
separation of narrow bandwidth and wide bandwidth emissions. We believe 
that separation of emission types by bandwidth is accepted in the 
amateur service as a reasonable means to minimize interference on shared 
frequencies and bands ..."

73,
