If we come to a point where the WG needs to make a guess about the  
competence of an additional editor, it would probably be good to take  
into account that experience with other standardization may not be a  
sufficient qualification without sufficient exposure to a bug database  
of a browser engine.

(It seems to me that the effective way to extinguish the kind of  
optimism that is unproductive when dealing with the Web is to get  
prolonged exposure to a bug database of a browser engine.)
