I found that all of the discussions were not futile but rather a tremendous aid in trying to understand the rationale and view points on the headers issue. The discussions (email and blog posts) were a big aid and a necessary part of the process (along with all of the research) which informed the resulting the wiki page [1] that I put together.

Could the process be more productive and rational?...Perhaps if the rationale and justification for removing/adding/changing all elements and attributes was already detailed in the "HTML 5 differences from HTML 4" document.
