Why?  If the disputes are irresolvable, why is it necessary to bring in a
deus ex machina to declare a resolution?  Isn't it just more honest to
leave the irresolvable unresolved?  I find this, the current way, quite
satisfactory and if the arbcom really is accepting cases that are in the
realm of content disputes then they should simply be more parsimonious in
the kind of dispute they accept.
