I like this I think this is a good idea.

> Pending: the issue has been accepted and is still pending
> 	resolution by the WG
>
> Resolved: The WG has decided and accepted a resolution, but the
> 	actions are still pending
>
> Fixed: The editor has completed the proposed actions, but the
> 	actions are awaiting verification.
>
> Closed: The issue has been resolved and is reflected in the
> 	 work products of the WG. The completion of the changes
> 	must be reported by the primary editor and verified by
> 	the secondary editor (or other WG member).
>
> Deferred: The WG has decided that the issue has some merit
> 	but that it should not be addressed in the upcoming
> 	revision of the spec.

> And deferred items would later be moved to the post-v1 tracker.
