Could somebody restate the problem here? The relevant parts seem to be:

Where I come from, an editor's draft is what you see when you peek over
an editor's shoulder while they are editing; they are not publications.
And if the Working Group decides to make a change to a draft, say rename
a property, it would seem very strange if the editor of the draft would
have to seek permission to push that change to a source control system;
I am guessing that is what "publishing" an ED amounts to. Perhaps the
decision is about the Working Group adopting a new deliverable under a
new shortname, and not about revising an editor's draft?
