Dear Chairs, WG: Please understand that this is NOT an objection to returning HTML 5.0 to LC. While the PFWG has not considered a position on this question, all indications are that we would support this CfC. However, we do believe there is one section of the candidate LC document whose RFC2119 status may need to be changed. Therefore, we are requesting that the following section be marked "At Risk" for the LC: http://htmlwg.org/heartbeat/WD-html5-20140617/dom.html#sec-strong-native-semantics PF notes that the normative requirements on user agents in this section are not tested and believes that they cannot be appropriately implemented from the specification alone. The development of the "HTML Accessibility API Mappings" specification will eventually provide the relevant implementation guidance, but this document is far from ready at this time. Discussion of this issue in PF can be found beginning at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jun/0067.html I expect the PFWG will file a bug against the HTML 5.0 specification in this regard during the coming week.
