It's one thing for the W3C to just copy everything the WHATWG does and republish it as a W3C spec. It's orders of magnitude worse when you first copy it all, *and then start changing it without coordinating with the group that first developed it*. Either make up your own APIs from scratch, or work with the group that's designing the APIs that you copy when you review them. Don't just copy someone else's work, then start changing it without coordination. This results in forked technologies and is actively harming the Web. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
