I wanted to clarify that you're using a one vendor/one veto approach to determining what goes in, or doesn't go into, HTML 5. I don't believe many of us were aware that any one vendor among the larger browser companies had absolute veto power over the HTML 5 and its contents. I'm assuming that the companies that have this veto power are Apple (Webkit), Microsoft, Opera, Google, and Mozilla. Do I have that right, or are their other vendors with this absolute veto power? Thanks Shelley
