I encourage you to ensure that any change proposal meets the guidelines described at:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#change-proposal 

In particular the proposal you mentioned at:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/142
does not appear to contain a clearly identified Rationale.  I assume you would want the Issue: labeled text to be treated at the Rationale.

In addition the Proposal: part  at the above link would appear to be a "a high-level prose description of the changes to be made" which requires "prior permission from the chairs".  Personally (without speaking for my co-chairs) I would prefer that you provide a more detailed change proposal that is "A set of edit instructions, specific enough that they can be applied without ambiguity."

Paul,

Embedded in that Issue tracker page is a proposal to rectify the problem.
Has this been noted (at this time) as one potential Change Proposal, or should it be separated and re-written as a stand-alone reference?

Thanks.
