I tend to agree, EWG seemed quite against this (though sadly, it looks like the 
minutes never got uploaded to the wiki).  For something to fail the 'is a 
problem worth solving' (aka, the 'author should do more work' vote) it means 
the room was quite against it.  While I can see the attraction of this, I don't 
think it is a good feature.
