Issue 32 blocks > Issue 92. At this time, the Chairs are not moving to immediately close the issue. We are merely asking people who disagree with your proposal to write up their preferred alternative as a Change Proposal. For example, if Tab would like to see a very similar change to what you propose but without endorsing @summary, he can write that up as a Change Proposal. Alternately, if anyone feels the spec text should stay as-is, or should change in a completely different way, then they too are free to submit Change Proposals. The Chairs haven't yet decided whether to block final resolution of this issue on ISSUE-32, but this call for alternate proposals does not have any direct effect on that decision. It just leaves our options open. Regards, Maciej
