One concern I have is the meta issues with Issues i.e. the overhead of managing the Issues. For example, it would be unfortunate if we ended-up spending more time discussing things like "is this an issue or not" instead of discussing/debating the technical specifics. Another concern I have is the potential burden for the Editors i.e. the folks actually doing a large part of the group's work. I am most familiar with the Editors from the WAF WG (Marcos/Widgets, Hixie/XBL2 and Anne/AC4CSR) and I think they are generally already doing a good job of managing Issues for their specs. If an Editor wants to manage fine-grained Issues then I'd be open to supporting that model. However, if Editors are generally satisfied with their current Issue management model, then I'd tend to continue to support that too. Anyhow, comments from others are welcom, particularly the WebApps Editors. -Regards, Art
