The emphasis should be on the your. The celebrant says "The Lord be with (the spirit which is within) you" and the response is "And with YOUR spirit". To emphasise it otherwise surely makes it mean something else.

Incidentally the priest who is a member of the 'Liturgy Office' said that this will not be the last or final word but happily many of us will not need to contemplate another change if they are going to go in 40 year cycles!
