2.3 Last Call 11342: "The TextMetrics baseline must provide a baseline
property" reported by Rich Schwerdtfeger.
Ian's comment: "Which baseline? And why do you need this through the
metrics mechanism rather than the rendering mechanism (where it is
already available)? If you could provide a simple page with a canvas
script showing the problem that would be ideal."
Change Description: "no spec change".

3. REOPENED BUGS:

3.1 Pre-LC1 Bug 9326: "HTML elements mapping to ARIA and A11y APIs"
reported by Leif Halvard Silli.
Reopened by Leif.
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10518


4. DUPLICATE BUGS:

4.1 Last Call Bug 11798: "It has been brought to my attention by some
browser vendors that browsers don't actually implement accessibility
API annotations exactly the way the ARIA spec says to; instead, they
have default mappings from HTML directly to the accessibility APIs
that they use unless an explicit role="" has been given. So it might
make sense to change this section so that it is nothing but
conformance criteria for authors, removing the UA conformance criteria
relating to ARIA and platform AAPIs from the HTML spec altogether."
