In case I haven't said so clearly to the WG: I concur.
AS&S is, currently[1,2], unacceptable to me on those grounds.
I don't have much of an opinion on the mapping rules as a whole,
but AS&S is unacceptable on I18N grounds as is,
and I suppose Jeremy's fix is acceptable to me. I might
be satisfied with a change smaller than what Jeremy is
proposing, but I don't have one to offer just now.
