Under my working definition, it doesn't become a blocker until Last
Call actually threatens to occur.  If it is the opinion of the chairs
that we are indeed very close to declaring Last Call, and so this
issue stands a reasonable chance of delaying that, then I'll be okay
with dropping it.  If the chairs believe there are still sufficient
issues blocking LC that this issue, if resolved in a reasonable amount
of time, will not delay LC, then I'll continue to oppose dropping this
section from the w3c HTML5 spec unless/until the opposite becomes
obvious.
