Marcos, it is sad to see you resort to name calling by proxy. There was nothing shameful about my private message to Fred. It was one in a series of messages over the past few months intending to encourage Fred to follow established policy. If it didn't sound that way, it is because it is merely the last in this series, and you haven't seen the prior messages in context. Like Dave said, it is bad form to forward private email to a ML, but that is always a possibility, and I stand by the private opinion I stated (and which you have viewed out of context). I would repeat it to anyone given similar circumstances. As for whether 14,000 persons signed a petition or 1, the W3C policy is clear that lack of consensus is not sufficient cause to not publish. It is up to the chairs to determine the schedule and circumstances for publishing. G.
