The following bug was filed against the Decision Policy pointing this out: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11447 There's discussion there on how to address this.

Given the discussion so far, what we're asking for is: - A clear message including the relevant new information sent to the list. Note: it's ok to take the time to carefully collect all the relevant information; we're not likely to consider reopening an issue a second time, so it's good to make sure the request is complete. - A new or revised Change Proposal encapsulating the new information. - The reopen request is only likely to be granted if, lacking refutation or additional new information, the new information and proposal would likely have been enough to materially change the decision. > Do I wait for the bug to be closed (and presumably the > changes made to the spec), and then reopen the bug?

See above. Regards, Maciej
