The conclusion of that thread appears to be: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Dec/0127.html ...which as far as I can tell you did not respond to, so I presume you agree with it. If so, it seems strange that you would suddenly go back to saying that HTML5 is not a "Technical Specification" or that it should be one. What exactly is your position here? I don't understand. Furthermore, as Anne says, as far as I can tell HTML5 meets the definitions of both TS and AS as described by RFC2026, and I don't see how this has anything to do with the title anyway. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
