If you think a phone call would help, I'm probably the most available 
co-chair for this purpose this week.  I'll send you my phone number off 
list.

The short version is that if all of the following are true:

  (1) you have entered a bug,
  (2) got a response that you disagree with,
  (3) don't see a path to amicable resolution with the editor
  (4) are prepared to produce a full concrete proposal with rationale

... then don't be shy and by all means create issues.  Be aware that at 
this point we will treat such issues as Last Call issues.  This does not 
mean that we won't work diligently to resolve them, it just means that 
we won't hold up proceeding to Last Call until they are resolved.
