Where else but in an Anglican church would you encounter such a
detailed liturgical treatise?  You'd expect an article like this  to be 
found
in a professional liturgical journal and written by a professor of  
liturgics.
 
If I had a negative comment on this otherwise wonderful essay, it  would
be that it is esoteric.  Unless there is a large majority of  highly
educated communicants, the article might well fly over the heads  of
the average person in the pews.
 
I'm reminded of a comment by the late Mason Martens, chant  consultant
for Hymnal '82.  He noted that musical and liturgical matters in  TEC were
"handled as though Episcopalians are sophisticated and  knowledgeable 
about music and liturgy.  They aren't."
