[Bug 21806] Editors' response could be simplified

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21806

--- Comment #1 from Sam Ruby <rubys@intertwingly.net> ---
I'd prefer EDITOR's RESPONSE rather than EDITOR'S DECISION, as many confuse
Editor's proposed resolutions as Working Group Decisions.

I'd prefer a more specific URL, something like

http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#basic-step-2

And perhaps to make it even more stable, changing the anchor to
#editors-response.

As to how the decision policy itself would need to change, clearly the
boilerplate would have to be removed, the description of the resolutions can
stay, and the part of the boilerplate that talks about potential next steps
becomes part of the text of the decision policy.  What needs to be discussed is
the following bullets:

 * A clear statement of whether the comment was accepted or rejected.
 * A rationale for the change or lack of change (at least enough for the
Disposition of Comments).
 * A link to the relevant spec diff or diffs, if the spec was changed.

The proposed boilerplace covers #2, but doesn't clearly cover #1 and #3.  My
take is that these are reasonable items for people to expect in a proposed
resolution.  Thoughts?
