Reminder that this meeting is taking place tomorrow.

Once we complete the remaining design polls, I'd like to clarify what
might be perceived as a conflict in our poll results for poll 3.2 vs
polls 4 and 5; we can't state both that binary data may be formatted and
that formatter output that doesn't match an expected encoding is UB.
Hubert's suggestion of an escape mechanism would suffice to resolve the
apparent conflict. Are there other ways to interpret these polls? Or
other solutions to resolve the apparent conflict?

Tom.
