Annevk pointed me to the following decision of the working group: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Nov/0216.html So, there was a decision to publish without a declaration of consensus.

Failing that, I'm OK with leaving the current status as is. >> Thanks. >> >> Best Regards, >> Laura - Sam Ruby
