We seem to be falling into a recurring pattern where people cannot agree on what edit is to be made following a decision, e.g.: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Apr/0724.html Given that (a) the Decision Policy requests exact spec text in change proposals, (b) the decision process tends to be invoked where editors and other WG members fundamentally disagree, and (c) it is very hard to draft technical text expressing ideas that you think are unworkable, would it be possible for future Chair Decisions to include a patch to be applied to the spec where Decision differs from the exact text of any submitted proposal, rather than offloading the task onto the people who couldn't agree in the first place? This would allow the Decision to be enacted at once, and further improvements to follow our normal process, rather than let the WG get bogged down in trying to work out what we've actually decided? Just a thought. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
