No, that's not the issue. The issue is other W3C specs as well as external
specs that need to normatively reference box-decoration-break and are
otherwise held up until normative dependencies achieve a final REC status.
As I stated, I don't care where it is defined as long as there is no
significant delay. If folks are confident that CSS Fragmentation will reach
REC not much later than B&B3, then there is not problem. I agree that,
logically speaking, it is more closely tied to FRAG.
