There are several edits that haven't been resolved by the WG that are in the current ED.

I suggest the edit stays and then "we all step back".

With reversion, the issue that I raised remains unaddressed.  With the edit, the issue is resolved.

Given there are unhappy parties either way, if it's a split committee is it not better to have the inconsistency resolved rather than "lived with"?
