The corollary of the robustness principle ("Postel's law") when applied to
human-to-human communications such as emails, internet drafts and RFCs:

         Do not offend others

         do not be easily offended.

Where IETF has taken hundreds of emails on the subject

 W3C has one github issue 

https://github.com/w3c/idcg/issues/17 

(note citable references in 

https://github.com/w3c/idcg/issues/17#issuecomment-666552955 )

without any of the Sturm und Drang we see here
