I would suggest the addition of the word "presumed" before DEFERRED.  This
would make this part of the sentence consistent with "closed without prejudice"
and "can ... be re-raised with approval of the HTML chairs".

I don't think we need to annotate this further in the process itself, but my
expectation is that the chairs will entertain any or all fully-thought out
proposals that have a reasonable chance of gaining consensus.  That being said,
once an issue has timed out, I do not believe that it is anybody's best
interest to allow the WG to spend further time on proposals that are not
fully-thought out or do not have a reasonable chance of gaining consensus.

[if it will help, I'll gladly split this out to a separate bug report]
