RE: CfC: Publish three heartbeat drafts as WDs

> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21341 has been open since March.

Bug 21341 is in the HTML 5.1 component and this thread is about the publication of an HTML 5.1 heartbeat.

But I have to wonder how Bug 21341 applies to the CR HTML 5.0 specification?  Will any changes to the HTML 5.1 spec also be made to the CR HTML 5.0 specification?

I want to point out that the current draft Long Description document normative references the CR HTML 5.0 spec [1] so I would have thought the A11Y TF would be more interested in having Bug 21341 applied to the CR HTML 5.0 spec or possibly to both the HTML 5.1 spec AND the CR HTML 5.0 spec.

Well, it's not my intent to throw a major monkey-wrench into the works.
Perhaps we should have inquired about prioritization and communicated our expected timelines before.

We're expecting LC late June. We further expect to prepare our CR implementation report during LC, so that we may well go to PR late August/early September, skipping CR.

Thanks, Robin. That would be helpful.
