I don't read his post that way. Given that no-one basically implemented
lists from ODF 1.0 correctly, his points about invaliding
implementations are commentary on the ODF 1.0 compatibility situation.

That's their call if they want to take their ball home. They don't have
a public implementation anyway.

If you can't come to consensus agreement, you have to vote and solve the
problem. Otherwise, you're in stalemate. That is how the process works.
