At this point, we have a bug, a resolution, and request for escalation. 
  The next step is a call for Rationale statements.  The process allows 
for a month for such to be prepared, but it appears to me that we have 
Rationale already provided by both sides of this issue:

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20082#c4

Unless there are any objections, I would prefer that we proceed to a 
Preference Survey starting no earlier than 4 December.  If anybody 
believes that they need more time to refine their rationale, please 
state your intent to do so before this date and indicate how long you 
feel you need.  Alternately, feel free to propose replacements for these 
rationales as these links will be included in the Preference Survey itself.
