I wasn't present, but the meeting minutes do not reflect any statement 
that work on the Rationale was to be done *instead* of following the 
documented process:

http://www.w3.org/2012/11/02-html-wg-minutes.html#item12

Perhaps it wasn't captured.  Perhaps all the necessary people weren't in 
the room.  In any case, it is a clear policy of this working group that 
decisions are not made off-list.

At this point, we have a Formal Objection from you and a response from 
the editor.  If you would like to have the Working Group proceed with a 
preference poll, please (a) withdraw your Formal Objection (without 
prejudice), and (b) mark the above bug as a Tracker Issue.

In addition, please indicate if you wish for us to proceed with your 
original rationale or if you intend to revise it:

Cameron: you indicated that you intended to provide a rationale for why 
the Polyglot document should be normative.  Is this still your intent? 
If so, when do you plan to have this complete?
