Expediting the LC and CR could be important for dependencies. The only dependency I know of without searching is the Widget Interface spec (which is on schedule to enter CR in Jan) and it has a normative dependency on Web Storage. Thus, another option is to stagger the LC comment periods. For example, 1-2 of the more "baked" specs could have a shorter LC period e.g. 2-3 months, the medium baked specs 3-4 months, etc. Is something like that workable for you, in particular making the exit of LC for Web Storage in 2-3 months? -Art Barstow
