(+public-html) Hi Laura, I've recorded this as an additional Change Proposal for ISSUE-31: http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-031 (I've suggested previously that you and Ian should work together to identify any changes here that are uncontroversial, so they can be directly applied to the HTML5 draft; I hope the two of you find some time to make progress on that.)
