[speaking as an individual, not as an editor of XHTML 2.0] I believe you've done the community a grave disservice by issuing such a succinct message of "in a unanimous decision, XHTML should do "X", without any acknowledgement of such controversy and history. (I also would request that the minutes of this discussion be posted in full (no 'light editing' as to content) immediately. As others have suggested, any positioning of the TAG's opinion as a potential binding decision upon W3C work, without having impacted groups represented in the debate and discussion, is in my opinion, W3C process run amok.
