I'd like to second this.

I'd also like to state a mea culpa.  I did not understand the extent to
which this controversy would become a DoS on the WG.  Perhaps it would
have been better to not get involved and then later publish a better
version of the extension.  I can't be sure, but certainly avoiding that
large exchange of email would have been better.
