I can't speak for anyone else, but my vote is not between whether @summary 
belongs
in one undefined class or another. But it seems that the chair has 
positioned us so that we
are going to vote between one document and another. That is truly unfortunate.

As a vote between publishing one document vs another, the polity becomes 
extremely difficult.

Honestly, I am flabbergasted by what is passing as process here. Everybody 
needs to take
a step back and recognize that this has now entered into theater of the 
absurd. Forking HTML
is the wrong thing to do, on the face of it. Please put an end to this 
insanity.

Murray
