Please address Ian's comment on the substance. The W3C Process says:

"Starting with a Last Call review up to the transition to Proposed  
Recommendation, a Working Group must formally address any substantive  
review comment about a technical report and should do so in a timely  
manner."

http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#doc-reviews

The W3C Process does not appear to allow limiting the scope of a Last  
Call, or indeed to allow limiting the scope of comments addressed  
even up to the PR stage. (It does say a working group "the Working  
Group may decline to make substantive changes to address issues  
raised between the end of a Last Call review period and publication  
of a Recommendation"

In fact the W3C process does not even allow having another Last Call  
immediately after a Last Call draft fails to proceed to CR. The W3C  
Process says:

"The Working Group makes substantive changes to the technical report  
at any time after a Last Call announcement and prior to Publication  
as a Recommendation, except when the changes involve the removal of  
features at risk identified in a Call for Implementations. In the  
case of substantive changes, the Working Group must republish the  
technical report as a Working Draft."

Please follow the W3C Process.

Maciej
