It will be a poll not a vote.

I honestly don't know how much clearer John Foliot can be[1].

1) add @summary as a conformant attribute of the table element (4.9.2.1)

2) add explanation of @summary

3) provide cautionary message that @summary is under review and may be
made obsolete (aka class="XXX")

4) add example of @summary usage

5) remove @summary from 12.1 Conforming but obsolete features

My read of John's objections is that is was not his intent to produce a 
fork, nor was it his intent to become an editor, but it was his intent 
to get these specific changes into this specific Working Draft.  Propose 
a draft that addresses John's concerns, and we can discuss that instead, 
and possibly not even have a poll at all.
