I think so.

well, that refers to new work, right?
The only "delay" in this text is saying that "if you work on stuff other
than the core deliverable, it can't delay the core deliverable". So yes,
it refers to the "new" (non-core) work, regardless of any absolute delay in
the core work.

yes, it's correct.
Agreed.
I thought about alternatives like "considered" or "adopted" but neither has
quite the same connotation. So I left this unchaged, at least for now.

It is odd.
I think though, that the intent is WG is not going to standardize things that
don't
have support of a few implementors.
Yes; we need to have people looking at it. I also left this unchanged (for
now), since if the reviews are negative that will be used as input to any
determination of consensus to adopt.
Thanks for the review Éric, and the responses Michael,
