The wording is as finalized in XSHbug2.txt  Enhancement Request
Number 24.  

This and others are now being circulated  for their 30 day
approval process to become approved interpretations as part of the
preparation phase for Draft 1. 

Suggestions *with rewording* are required to make a change, if there
is a no consensus on the suggested change then the interpretation would
remain open and the change won't make it to D1.

Andrew
