Sounds a bit like fascism to me. There is a substantial minority membership of this list that believes that the WHATWG HTML5 specification is a very poor starting point, and that HTML 4.01 Strict would have been a far better basis. Are you now suggesting that that minority, having been outvoted by the majority in the W3C questionnaire, should now either pretend that they are happy or leave the list ? If so, then I am forced to disagree. Whilst it would be quite wrong for that minority to seek to disrupt the workings of the group, they have every right to hold true to their beliefs, and -- when an individual proposal with which they disagree becomes the subject of discussion -- to explain why they are opposed to its adoption/integration, and to vote against. IMHO, of course. Philip Taylor
