Re: 7-Day Call for Consensus (CfC): Publish FPWD of AccName 1.2

+1 with or without the following change.

Furthermore, even if this prohibition is made within a specification, that prohibition will not have any impact on calculating name from contents. The reason for the addition to this statement is to make it possible for specifications to achieve results such as the following:
