I also would like to draw people's attention to the enhanced change control procedures[1] that Ian previously agreed to: "If any Working Group member sees a change go into any Last Call-track draft after the October 1st cutoff that seems controversial and likely to reduce rather than increase consensus, please let the Chairs know and we will make the call." It seems reasonable to conclude that is such a case, but I would like to be absolutely sure before proceeding, so if any working group member feels like this change needs to be reverted, please say so now. > Best regards, Julian - Sam Ruby [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0125.html
