Re: Contenteditable spec still alive?

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed correspondence on this. I am in fact no longer at
Microsoft. I believe they are going to have someone take over for me, but I
was waiting for more info before sending out details. I will leave it to
Ade at this point.

It was great working with all of you, and good luck!

Ben
