hi Sam,
"if it is the case that canvas is not accessible, and that there is
strong agreement on "We will design all features so as to ensure that
they are accessible to users with disabilities", then I would simply
suggest we delay Last Call until this is addressed."
There is nothing hypothetical about the inaccessibility of canvas
content and accessible design is a cornertsone of W3C philosophy, so I
would suggest that unless it is resolved before October, it would
contribute to a delay.
That's why I chose it as a concrete example. :-)
I hope I answered your question.
Another topic I don't like to spend much time on is "gate keepers",
particularly when we have a W3C team contact who is willing to give write
access to the document repository for the group to anybody with a credible
offer to edit a specification:
The issue is not the ability to edit "a specification" it is the
ability of the "working group" to effect change of the html 5
specification.
Since you cited a post on my weblog, permit me to do the same:

Specifically: 'I question the presumption implicit in the notions of
“the” editor, and “the” spec.', as well as the text that follows that
statement.
