Post 15 links to the changes of the language of the Mass that was voted upon by the USCCB. While some of these amendments may be accepted, many will not be considered.

With the word coming from Rome asking for more Gregorian Chant in worship, and with a return to a concern for the central placement of tabernacles in Churches, I think this reform is underway.

I am not sure why the Tridentine is not considered part of that reform? As Napoleon was fond of saying "Pas d'ennemis a droit" (there are not enemies to your right; this presumes that the leftists are where troubles will arise). Since those who love the Tridentine Mass will be to the right, and since they are those who tend to love chant, how are they not a part of the reform when their numbers are so small?

A universal indult for the Tridentine Mass could be part of that reform. However, a reform of the reform recognizes the legitimacy of Vatican II and of the Novus Ordo and therefore the suppression of the Novus Ordo and its replacement by the Tridentine Mass could never be a part of it. Hence, although many traditonalists could be part of this reform of the reform, the extremist traditionalists could never be part of it since they think that the Novus Ordo is fundamentally flawed and beyond fixing, that it cannot be reformed.
