If we let the level of objection that the Design Principles got make us abandon documents, we'll never get anything done. As Maciej pointed out, the Design Principles review survey showed wide support with very little dissent. (A small group of people disagreed on many counts.) It's unlikely we could please the small group of dissenters without watering down the Design Principles so that they'd be less representative of the wider support. To be clear, I think the WG should not abandon the Design Principles document, should not water down the principles themselves and should not add front matter that undermines the content on the document. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
