I object to the working group ONLY publishing a new draft of
the Hixie fork of the HTML5 specification, because the industry
and the public are already confused enough about the state of
the activities of the W3C HTML working group and the process
we are embarking on.

My objection would be satisfied if we also simultaneously published
Mike Smith's document and/or Manu's fork as First Public Working
Drafts along with a clear public explanation of the process we 
are now engaging.

Thanks,

Larry
