Bhikkhuni re-establishment has very little to do with textual sources and everything to do with acceptance, in Asia. A Great Buddhist Council, involving all traditions of Buddhism, could achieve this quickly, but otherwise the only option is very slow and incremental progress, as in the case of Sri Lanka.
