In response to this CfC, we received a single comment (which included an 
indication that it was NOT intended as an objection):

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Jun/0036.html

We subsequently got the following clarification:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Jun/0044.html

Based on discussions with the editors and the Interaction Domain Leader, 
the chairs have decided to take no action on PFWG request (i.e., request 
no change to publication) with the understanding that these items can be 
added to a subsequent CR should that be necessary.

Therefore, this CfC passes.
