Essentially, yes -- although the chairs were co-operative and the
differences in processing model is irrelevant wrt. naming properties
and values.

It's not my personal peace of mind you should be worried about -- it's
the success of future specifications. W3C's experiment with having two
normative specifications describing the same formatting properties has
not been successful and I've seen no evidence why things would go
better this time.
