As a point of clarification, there are actually 3 Change Proposals that were
presented to the Working Group - the third being that the question be
deferred to HTML.next.
(https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/issue-194-objection-poll/results)

I further note that this 3rd option was strongly opposed by the a11yTF:

	"The HTML-A11Y Task Force has resolved objection to the Zero Change
Proposal on Issue-194 without objection as recorded at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2012Jul/0065.html" 

I echo Silvia's surprise, as I too was expecting a decision from the Chairs
at this time.
