It isn't clear to me that there's consensus behind the two header approach. Is there really? It seems like a big switch in directions; we went through a lot of angony to get to a draft that we sent out for Proposed Standard. Are we now all changing our minds about what we want to propose as a standard and propose something else? I haven't heard a groundswell of "oops, sorry, changed my mind" at all. Mainly I see people are grumbling about getting backed into a compatibility problem and wondering who to blame for the mess. I'm less interested in blame, but I do think we need to get people's reasoned and considered opinions about what the right technical thing to do is, as far as state management, in light of both deployed code and also the working group's previous stand.
