No opprobrium there, Michael; I did no more than pass on the concern from one of our (alleged) members. Happily, it turned out to be illusory.

I am sorry that you imagine opprobriom where none is intended.

Indeed, that might be appropriate for Jed to do; but we should bear in mind Mark Twain's words of advice on this sort of issue, bearing in mind that he was speaking tongue in cheek:

Are we yet ready, fellow Spellyansoryon, to consider a consensual rewording of  the KS formal spec vis à vis the precise rôle recommened by us for diacritical signs in KS? Perhaps we need more time to discuss the issue. Perhaps not.

I call for a vote; does anyone second the motion that we vote on the following form of words?
