"there is some doubt" reads for me as non-native speaker as "basically,
the DPL didn't intend, but we cannot prove". If the native speakers
disagree with this reading (and consider it rather neutral), it's ok for
me. (Actually, I don't mind too much how exactly it is written, as long
as we (a) get this issue done soon, (b) explicitly uphold the decisions
that were done.)
Cheers,
Andi
