I'm reviewing the set of open issues. So far I have gone through issues 1-15, and I suggested (in separate emails) that many could be closed. The following seem like they would match the criteria for "controversial" issues, since they have been open a long time, have caused much debate, and remain open: ISSUE-1: PINGPOST - hyperlink auditing requires use of unsafe HTTP method ISSUE-2: PINGUI - Practicability of UI requirements for hyperlink auditing ISSUE-4: html-versioning - HTML Versioning and DOCTYPEs ISSUE-7: video-codecs - codec support and the <video> element There is also a special case: ISSUE-14: aria-role - Integration of WAI-ARIA roles into HTML5 I believe everyone agrees that the correct resolution is to integrate ARIA, but that is currently blocked on decisions by the PFWG. I don't think it would be meaningful or productive to label this issue as "controversial", rather, the HTML WG should make a formal request to PFWG to expedite the resolution of their pending issue. I make no judgment on whether spec changes are needed to resolve any or all of these. There has been enough dispute over these issues that I don't feel comfortable suggesting them for summary closure. Regards, Maciej
