I have a slight preference for blocking.

I'm still reviewing the discussion, but it seems that from what I've
read so far, the minimal change that I would be comfortable with (and
that we might reach consensus about) is removing the debated
attributes altogether.  We could easily add them back in a subsequent
version.  I dislike adding things that we know that people are very
likely not going implement in the way we specified.
