Oh you think the LWG might be lying or making it all up? I remember quite clearly WSGR's point that they can't advise the whole community, just the LWG/OSMF and that putting advice in public jeopardizes their ability to give advice.

Maybe it's fine to publish advice as public opinion in Australia. I don't know.
