Re: Patches merged or staged for week 50

Hi Silvia,

spec goes to REC. We have a mandate in the HTML WG to work with the WHATWG
and >that's what we are doing here.

While I agree we should be working with the WHATWG, the updated charter
talks in these terms[1]

"The HTML Working Group will consider proposals for future specifications
from Community Groups, encouraging open participation within the bounds of
the W3C patent policy and available resources."

Which does not indicate to me that proposed new features that originate
from the WHATWG spec are automatically added to HTML 5.1

I also think we need to consider cases where there are competing proposals
for a feature (example srcset vs picture)

aside: I could not find the data element in 5.1 that is present in the
WHATWG spec?

regards
