I'd be willing to try again if people really think it's worth doing,
but the discussion just in this thread suggests to me that the result
would be the same.

For those who managed to miss the last round of this, that document
ended up saying, "There is a reverse tree; some people maintain it and
some don't.  Some people like to rely on it, but it is important to be
aware that not everyone maintains it.  If someone relies on the
reverse tree and you don't maintain it for your site, you might have
surprising results."

At the time, I believed I had watered down the draft so thoroughly
that it would be impossible for anyone to disagree with it.  I was
evidently wrong.

If we're going to bring that thing back up (in any sense you like),
then I think it needs to get a spine.  Perhaps also my willingness to
try to find consensus has declined in the intervening years: I just
don't think there _is_ a consensus on this.
