However, unfortunately, given the significant amount of prior discussion 
of this issue and the formal process which led to the selection of the 
current names; and the fact that we have implementations due to be 
released in upcoming versions of each of the 4 major browsers, changing 
the name at this stage is not possible.

Please let me know whether or not you are satisfied with this response.
