RE: HTML WG Note publication of sourcing in-band media resources

The Chairs have discussed this matter and have a counter proposal on how to publish this material.

We believe you want to publish your document [1] along the same lines as the "Media Source Extensions Byte Stream Format Registry" was published and referenced from the MSE specification.  

MSE CR refers to the document as an Informative Reference.  See [2] and below:

  A.2 Informative references
  [REGISTRY] Aaron Colwell Media Source Extensions Byte Stream Format Registry. 02 December 2013 URL: http://www.w3.org/2013/12/byte-stream-format-registry/

It is very important to get agreement that the material in your proposed document is in fact "Informative" if we are to follow this example.  Please confirm.

If you agree with this approach then we would need to:

a) Publish your document in W3C space along the lines of how we published "Media Source Extensions Byte Stream Format Registry",
b) Add an informative reference to HTML 5.0 (and HTML 5.1) to the new document.
 
In addition bug 25133 Comment 2 [3] seems to imply there is material in HTML that should be changed/moved to this new document.  Before we proceed the HTML WG should be explicitly informed of exactly what changes are being proposed.

A good way to carry out the above steps would be to open a HTML5.0 bug that describes the exact proposed changes and to put it before the HTML WG.

Please let us know if this proposal meets your original objectives.

We wil request a FPWD first.

The document provides clarification of normative language in HTML 5.0 that aids interoperability so making the change in 5.0 would be better, assuming we can get to Note status in a timely manner.
