May 24, 2012 at 22:43	comment	added	KConrad		Hugo: I edited my answer to discuss characteristic 2, but unfortunately the final result is inconclusive. I don't see how to make part e of my outline work in characteristic 2, but I don't have a specific counterexample to offer in characteristic 2 that would contradict what you are asking about. I suggest you post a new MO question that I indicate in the second to last paragraph of the updated answer for the people who are more familiar than I am with quadratic forms in characteristic 2.

May 24, 2012 at 13:22	comment	added	Hugo Chapdelaine		Thanks Keith, it is good to have it for future reference! So what should one do in characteristic $2$ in order to save the statement? The naive definition for the inner product fails since we divide by $2$, moreover one should also replace the isotropy group by something a bit larger but what would be such a replacement...
