To clarify, I did not mean to imply that anyone actually believed
that.  Julian suggested that the chairs should ignore the fact that a
change here would increase spec divergence.  I replied that this would
be appropriate *if* the chairs did not care about spec convergence,
but since I think the chairs *do* care about spec convergence, I would
expect them to at least consider the argument (even if they feel it's
outweighed by other factors), not ignore it.  So, I don't know where
you see a straw man here.
