    &lt;blockquote&gt;Concensus requires much more than any single person... &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Starting at page xx, PBP lists over two dozen other people
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
My remark was meant as a linguistic one, but I can see it can be interpreted in multiple ways.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;
It is, however, incorrect to imply that those guidelines aren't the result of extensive consultation, collaboration, and collective experience.
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I never meant to imply that. My apologies if it did appear that way.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Still, I do wonder if defaulting to &lt;tt&gt;/msx&lt;/tt&gt; is concensus or the opinion of a few. I've certainly never encountered many people expressing this opinion before PBP came out.
&lt;/p&gt;
