How about "You can only write the word 'consensus' if your name is Tim Bray or
Paul Hoffman."
While the standards process (rfc2418) gives the chairs the
responsibility for deciding ultimately when consensus has been
established; there is nothing in the guidelines, that I can see, that
would forbid a WG member from expressing an opinion about whether
consensus seems to be forming over any particular issue. So how about I
write the word 'consensus' whenever I want and you feel free to ignore
it or disagree with it whenever you want. If I have violated any part
of the standards process, I'm quite certain that the chairs will let me
know.
In the meantime, how about we just focus our discussion on the Pace's
that have been submitted and not be concerned over who gets to write the
word 'consensus' and who's going to laugh idiotically when they do.
