"In the event of a dispute please discuss among a larger group and try 
and find consensus" might be better than being seen to "hard-code" a 
preference for one language or another.

With a Data Working Group hat on I've seen language disputes in various 
places, and it's often made worse by someone "overinterpreting" 
something in a wiki page or elsewhere that was perfectly well-meaning 
but not designed to cover the current situation at all.   If you wanted 
to refer to the DWG directly "in the event of a dispute" that wouldn't 
be a problem, since I'd expect that the first thing that we'd try and do 
is to get those involved to talk things through in a wider forum, 
possibly this list or something more local if appropriate.

Best Regards,

Andy
