RE: css3-fonts: should not dictate usage policy with respect to origin

“How is this done? By considering any form of published W3C document as a PAS "publicly available specification" [1] with a persistent URL. This is done regardless of the warnings in the status section.”

So because other organizations have deliberately chosen to ignore explicit w3c disclaimers, w3c WGs are expected to deal with the consequences of those decisions after the fact ? Is it any surprise that engaging in a dialogue on such a basis ought to be somewhat difficult?
