Done, in ca896aa:

https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/ca896aab1f7a3ad54b36721c6a32da5cf243d65f

I should note that the wording is slightly different than in email 169.
I tweaked the positive and negative examples based on Leif's latest
message. (Thanks, Leif!)

Following the above commit, I have resolved the following bugs as FIXED:

* Bug 18793: Remove Sentence as requested by Formal Objection on HTML
  Issue-204 Decision

  The sentence has been removed.

* Bug 18744: drop WAI-ARIA scope restriction in the text adopted in
  ISSUE-204

  The new text removes the WAI-ARIA scope restriction that was present
  in the old text.

* Bug 18745: Reword text adopted by ISSUE-204 to avoid certain implications

  The new, expanded text goes to great lengths to avoid the implications
  of the old text.

* Bug 18859: Update spec to match latest ISSUE-204 wording

  This was just a work-item bug to capture this specific spec edit.

As we continue to work on this issue, let's file specific bugs to
capture the remaining problems people have with this text.


Thanks,
Ted
