I think the question of principle here is whether a document with
a known ambguity is qualified to become an Internet Standard.

If this WG can make no more progress on that question (and I have
sympathy with the WG Chairs on that), it becomes a question for
the community and the IESG during IETF Last Call.

As far as I can tell, ambiguity is not mentioned explicitly in
RFC 2026 or RFC 6410.
