Only if the decision remains silent and uncommunicated. If I second 
guess something and tell the other side NACK, there is nothing 
misleading to it. The problem is the semantically loaded use of 
"compliance" where it means "privacy enhancing" instead of 
"implements all the SHOULDS and MUSTS of the Specification".
