Specifically, I'm trying to propose something that could be workable as a long-term solution, and that could take us to Last Call, regardless of what goes in the Working Draft. It may take longer than the WD timeline to work out all the details, so I'm not asking to preempt any decisions related to WD publication. I think that for a solution to take us to Last Call, it needs to have at least some support for each "side" of the dispute. It may be that some people will not be satisfied by what comes out of that, and we still need to have a poll. But I think we're not going to resolve this by forcing one side or the other to surrender. So I hope people can think in terms of compromise, even if they don't agree with exactly what I proposed. If we can't find a basis for compromise, then we'll ultimately have to pick between two extreme positions, which will likely be polarizing and unpleasant for the Working Group. Regards, Maciej
