Lachlan's change proposal adequately described what was wrong with the 
example.

I provided three options, and listed my order of preference.  If the 
example is to be retained, and this is done without presenting any new 
information that would merit reopening the decision, then my request is 
that the differences indicated why the WHATWG felt it necessary to 
diverge, and that the description reflect the rationale provided by Lachlan.

But again, I wish to stress that from my perspective, this is the least 
preferable option.
