   Yes, "clarification and simplification" of the act itself is listed 
as the last item on the lowest priority.  One might like to assume this 
includes clarification/simplification of copyright term, but I'm not 
convinced.

   Great that it is being discussed that even after we managed to avoid 
that copyright extension that the documentation for the bill claims that 
the extension still happened.
