I think going ahead and sending proposed wording is fine.  However,
given the amount of time and effort we've spent on trying to get this
aspect of the document right, I also think it's something the WG ought
to sign off on.  My preference would be to see a positive response from
someone who has read the proposed new text.

I don't think you can draw any meaning from lack of response to a
message the WG hasn't seen.
