"After CfC for FPWD, it isn't clear what happens if there isn't consensus."

And I replied:

"Clarification: The general expectations are documented in the W3C Process
Document here: <http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#first-wd>.
In particular, "Consensus is not a prerequisite for approval to publish; the
Working Group may request publication of a Working Draft even if it is unstable
and does not meet all Working Group requirements." Thus, consensus is not
required and it is possible to proceed notwithstanding lack of consensus. But
it is also likely that the Chairs will seek to have objections addressed if
there is an obvious practical path to doing so.

Possible Policy Update: We'll probably say something more specific when
documenting the procedure for FPWD."
