This is the one policy where I have had almost a year of 
"discussion". I have tried various dispute resolution processes, and 
am invariably told that it is a content dispute (presumably because 
nearly all policy relates to content).

It seems to me that policy should be sufficiently clear for editors 
to implement, not decide by consensus?
