Frank:

There's a simple solution to this problem.  Careful discussion followed by
humming/show of hands/whatever, at the WG meeting.  If the change is hummed
in after detailed debate, then that's it.  If the problem is that the DT
folks have good arguments against, such that no changes get hummed in,
well, good show for the careful work by DT, no?
