Re: ARIA lexical processing related bugs require escalation

Hi Mike,

keep you hat on, what I meant was that it is my understanding that
these bugs need to be dealt with and if they are not defined as issues
then they will not be considered for last call, if that is not the
case or they are not considered important enough to be sorted for
HTML5 then all well and good.
