Can you please point me to the relevant messages? The notes on issue 218:

"The issue at this point is whether we should (1) make a small change to 
make the standard clear (presumably in the direction of not finding the 
non-functions in the lookup), and revisit the issue later as an extension, 
or (2) leave the standard alone for now and make any changes only as part of 
considering the extension. A straw vote favored option (1) by a strong 
majority."

are from the 10/01 meeting and seem out of date.
