Re: ISSUE-31 Change Proposal

(+public-html)

Hi Laura,

I've recorded this as an additional Change Proposal for ISSUE-31:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-031

(I've suggested previously that you and Ian should work together to  
identify any changes here that are uncontroversial, so they can be  
directly applied to the HTML5 draft; I hope the two of you find some  
time to make progress on that.)

Regards,
Maciej
