There are multiple reasons for not being able (or willing) to sit in front of a PC when discussions happen here in real time - among them, "office hours" depend on your time zone, some people are contributing in their free time and have $DAYJOB where they don't sit at a PC, watching the mailing lists, but might only become aware of ongoing discussions on their mobile devices. This happens to me quite often - discussions happen while I'm unaware (or only have a phone with me), and by the time I'm at my PC, they are over, decisions have been reached, everybody has moved on. I don't think policies which would effectively discourage discussion contributions by non-professionals / volunteers would be helpful. A programmatical solution to the "HTML problem" at the server level would be preferable (if possible) ...
