I do not think that this is a correct representation of this issue.

Understanding the position of the W3C management seems to require a lot of
effort. My conclusion now is that it is not well defined.

I suppose that the EFF and others did represent the relevant points in the
debate with W3C management and therefore do not intend to repeat that effort.
But I will try to formulate a question or small set of questions for the W3C
management in the hope that the reply will further clarify the position of the
W3C.
