In accordance with both the W3C process's requirement to record the group's decision to request advancement [1], and with the steps identified in the "Plan 2014" CfC [2], this is a Call for Consensus

(CfC) to request transition to Proposed Recommendation for the following document:

http://htmlwg.org/heartbeat/PR-html5-20140916/

Yandex believes there are problems with this specification, but expects them to be resolved in future HTML Recommendations. We also believe it is important to produce Recommendations, and this is certainly an improvement over the existing Recommendations available for HTML in terms of being up to date and providing specification of modern features.

We therefore support publication as a Recommendation, with the understanding that W3C will continue to publish Recommendations for HTML - hopefully something more like every year ot twothan every decade or so.

For reference, here is a list of bugs addressed during the current Candidate Recommendation [3] stage for this document:

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&chfield=%5BBug%20creation%5D&chfieldfrom=2014-07-27&chfieldto=Now&component=CR%20HTML5%20spec&list_id=42800&product=HTML%20WG&query_format=advanced

Note that some features marked as at risk in the current Candidate Recommendation [3] were removed [4].š

Test results and analysis for this specification can be found at [5-6].

Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses are encouraged. If there are no objections by Monday September 8, this resolution will carry.

Considerations to note:

- A request to advance indicates that the Working Group believes the specification is stable and appropriate for advancement to Recommendation status.
