Re: CfC: Close ISSUE-153 link-external by Amicable Resolution

At this time, we find that we have consensus on the following proposal 
for ISSUE-153:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0317.html

Bug 11181 will be REOPENED and marked as WGDecision.  Once the editor 
has made the change, ISSUE-153 will be CLOSED.
