    <thetext>The revert policy should cover the situation where a change is made which is inconsistent with a published Decision.

Concrete examples to illustrate: if the editor wants to change caretBlinkRate to caretBlinkPeriod and that meets with no objections, he is welcome to do so.  If the editor wishes to remove drawFocusRing and people object to that change, then that change should be reverted until a new decision is made on issue 131.

As always, the editor should be encouraged to discuss changes along these lines with the entire working group before making them.</thetext>

    <thetext>Here is the original email defining enhanced change control:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0125.html

I think this policy should be folded in essentially as-is as a first pass.

If I can&apos;t find an easy way to address Sam&apos;s suggestion in comment #1 while doing that, I&apos;ll file a follow-up bug.</thetext>

    <thetext>Addressed here. I largely copied in my old Revert Policy email, and made a few changes to the wording. I also included FIXME comments for where this text will likely be updated based on bug 12029, bug 11197, and bug 12734.
