To be clear: I'm not requesting anything from the Chairs.

It explicitly left that decision up to the relevant registration authorities. The decision to register it should follow Microformats process for managing the registry.

I appreciate your clarification on that point - may I take that as an
official chair statement? (as I'm assuming you're speaking as a chair
on public-html unless disclaimed otherwise)

With the above clarification, no there does not appear to be.

What I was concerned about is if the wording from the chairs'
decisions either required non-trivial extrapolation or if there could
multiple (potentially contradicting) interpretations, then anyone
wanting to base their point on those decisions may have to raise an
issue for further clarification.

I'm not looking for anything from the chairs. My request is to those
that wish to quote/cite the wg/chairs decisions to substantiate their
points/requests/proposals.

Thanks,
