It was believed by a majority > that putting an alternative on the Standards Track would create ambiguity > among the installed base. It was agreed that before moving the document > onto the Standards Track we should create an experiment and test the uptake. > The request of the authors was to specify the experiment in the document and > include how to evaluate the success of the experiment. > > Absent any new information the Chairs have been maintained that decision of > the working group. > > At this time new information has come forward and so a formal request to > reconsider the status of this document is appropriate.
