(https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/issue-194-objection-poll/results) I further note that this 3rd option was strongly opposed by the a11yTF: "The HTML-A11Y Task Force has resolved objection to the Zero Change Proposal on Issue-194 without objection as recorded at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2012Jul/0065.html" I echo Silvia's surprise, as I too was expecting a decision from the Chairs at this time.
