We previously vacated the original issue 131 decision, reopened the issue, and allowed changes to be made: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Dec/0059.html Now Richard is asking that we effectively consider his proposal withdrawn for the HTML5 time frame. Frank has also agreed to postpone this to HTML.next: http://www.w3.org/2012/08/16-html-wg-minutes.html#item09 Given that no active proposals remain, the chairs are now asking if there is consensus to roll back the hit testing proposal and to defer the feature to HTML.next. If anybody would like to raise an objection during this time, we will require them to accompany their objection with a concrete and complete change proposal. If no objections are raised to this call by August 30th, 2012, we will direct the editors to make the proposed change, and will only consider subsequently reopening this issue based on new information and a complete change proposal based on the spec's contents as it exists after this change is applied. - Sam Ruby Note: while the process for HTML.next has not been determined, people are welcome to publish proposals for what the spec should look like, and should any Working Group member chose to do so, we will make provisions to publish same on the W3C site (alongside any other proposals that may be made)
