This would be fine by me, though it should be noted that the people who 
will ultimately decide what the answer is here are those who will be 
implementing it, and there is nobody who falls into that camp who is on 
the public-h...@w3.org list and is not on the es-discuss list as far as I 
am aware. So it's not clear that there would be any benefit to the getting 
past the bureaucratic hurdles.

I'm happy to spec into HTML5 whatever the majority of implementations 
eventually do (i.e. HTML5 will just track reality, whatever that is), I 
would hope the same applies to the ES specs. :-)
