For the record, I take issue with the way the drive to Last Call is 
forcing rushed decisions on complicated issues such as this one. I do not 
think the Web benefits from us forcing decisions to be made under pressure 
when there is no practical reason for any decision to be made in short 
order at all. This is a hugely complicated issue with many subtle aspects. 
The chairs are doing a serious disservice to the Web here.
