Gilman-10

Greetings Al, thanks for your comments on the content selection last call 
[1]. As part of this you include "process=once" which states: 

<snip>When the DISelect processing is being performed client-side, this 
would appear to bar the user from obtaining some adjustments to the user 
experience that they would otherwise be able to reach by adjusting 
preferences and re-processing.  What is the motivation for this option?  
Is it for efficiency when the author is confident that re-evaluation will 
yield the same result?  If so, why not state the clause in terms of "if 
process=once then the processor MAY, when the document is reprocessed, 
retain the old value established the first time processed and not 
re-evaluate the expressions in the scope of this [directive]."  Then the 
client-side processor will be sure not to be functionally impaired by the 
semantics of this feature.</snip>

DIWG Response
=============

As the WG discussed this and a related one McCathieNevile-5, we realised 
that there are a number of deficiencies in the reprocess feature. We have 
decded to remove the process element and the associated diselect-reprocess 
event.
