It wasn't clear to me that our design principles "require" anything.
Quoting from http://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/
1. These design principles are an attempt to capture consensus on design
approach. They are pragmatic rules of thumb that must be balanced
against each other, not absolutes.
and
2. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in
progress.
This stuff is also in the charter and it's pretty obvious by now what the
constraints are for evolving HTML. Is it really necessary to make such
e-mails? I think it would be better if you stated why you disagree with
the constraint rather than starting a "flamewar" on whether or not the
design principles require anything (I agree that they don't, they simply
illustrate our constraints, and therefore it comes down to the same thing).
