To be clear, there's no question of "taking a rec back to cr" at all.

The Recommendation stays as a recommendation unless the WG decides to
rescind it. You just get a time when there's a Rec and *also* a
proposed edited rec (or whatever) on /TR.

If you want people to review the changes and comment you have to accept
that yes, they might want changes that result in a republished CR, but
this isn't harder than republishing a working draft these days -
there's no transition call to go through or anything.

Under that process we'd presumably end up with CSS 2.2 Second Edition.

At any rate I'm not trying to push one method or another so much as to
make sure the options are made available for consideration.

Thanks
