A hefty working text has already been prepared for official consideration And after consideration, it will probably be left up to the local ordinaries to implement some watered down version of whatever is accepted for use in each country.
Also read in another article that Ratzinger is considering limited decentralization of power. That's good for negotiations with the Orthodox but bad news for catholics under liberal bishops.

This is my concern also, that whatever reforms of the liturgy Benedict requests, recommends, or even mandates, they will be ignored by our American bishops. Remember how JPII's documents and encyclicals were carried out?(NOT!) I'm afraid that our fondest hopes for restoring the liturgy will be dashed.

Well, this tidbit of information is perhaps an indication of things to come under Pope Benedict.
"A hefty working text has already been prepared for official consideration, and some sections have sporadically leaked to the Vatican press -- enough to suggest that Benedict XVI has no intention of mellowing from the hardrock conservative positions he held in his previous position as Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, a Vatican office tracing its pedigree directly back to the Inquisition."
