Re: Web standards, Openness and Transparency

Hey gang.  I'm Chris Wilson.  Advisory Board member, Web Audio spec editor,
troublemaker. Not necessarily in that order.

Note that I'm not EXACTLY advocating for this; I actually think directly
using living documents in /TR is not a good idea.  It *IS* a good idea to
make sure /TR documents always POINT to the current spec or effort (yes,
including pointing to editor's drafts).

I think redefining history of specs is bad.  I think making it clear - MOST
clear - what current status is, is critical.
