John, the WG did not reject any changes requested by Øyvind. We addressed
his issue, which is specifically, to address min-/max-width on table
rows/groups/cells. We happened to address it by making it *explicitly*
undefined, but Øyvind was not asking for a particular definition.

If Øyvind does not agree with our method of addressing his concern, then
he should make that known, but his feedback was /accepted/, not /rejected/.
