Working Group Resolution (LC-2256):
Thank you for your review.

We consistently use "user agent" now. 

We're staying with the "web page" definition we have, since it's what we
all understand. 

actually the "must not" in the last paragraph of 7.4.1. was not
conformance language; it has been reworked. 

"Chrome" refers to both primary and secondary UI; we've attempted to make
the clearer. 

We've reviewed the MUSTs (and all the recommendations) carefully and think
they're sane. Want to change any in particular, and if so, why?
