Laura Carlson [mailto:laura.lee.carlson@gmail.com] > > In this thread so far am hearing several CAPTCHA solutions for the HTML > 5 spec: Laura, Thanks for summarizing the choices here. Was recommended on the TF call today to actually turn this into a survey to be used to gage wider "temperature taking" from within the TF. Mike(tm) Smith will coordinate that survey, but it was also suggested to sit on it a bit, as CSUN will be a huge distraction over the next week or so for many. Perhaps ping Mike directly to ensure all goes well? (wording, etc.) Cheers! JF > > 1. Keep CAPTCHA out of HTML5. Say nothing about it in the spec. Remove > the example [2]. > > 1.
