Could you elaborate on this?  That *anyone* can override Ian's
decisions or make him step down as editor is news to me, and I suspect
that the organization I represent is counted among the developers you
list.  Who is on the steering council of browser developers?  How does
one appeal a decision to them, and how do they determine what to do
(unanimity, majority vote, rotating single-person veto, five-card
draw)?
