How do we get past that conundrum? My foremost concern is the interaction of the specification with deployed content. So if you just use HTML4 features, does it do the same thing as it does in browsers today? Would it look the same? Does it expose the same DOM interfaces? Et cetera. There are some other concerns that are outlined here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/ > But in the meantime, it doesn't make sense to claim that we're not > allowed to talk about the actual vocabulary name and concomitantly say > that you > shouldn't look at this because you already have *done* WF2, which is > 1) exact on syntax > 2) supposed to be a basis for review, not done I think Web Forms 2 and the deliverables of this Task Force per the Task Force charter are two separate things. I expected this Task Force to come up with a list of guidelines for the future of forms and the HTML WG would make sure that HTML5 forms are in line with those guidelines. I think that is reflected in the Task Force charter though as Maciej indicated there's room for debate. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
