Hello, Paul:

We do have this on the TF agenda for tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up and the opportunity to perfect the CP.

In looking around the various archives I found where a WG decision determined to retain Steve's Alt doc, but I did not find any determination relating to the incorrect guidance in the actual HTML spec. What am I missing? Any pointer much appreciated.

Do you have such a change proposal?

Can you please more clearly identify the "material new information" you are providing as your rationale for re-opening ISSUE-31?
