Re: CfC: to publish a First Public Working Draft (FPWD) of HTTP Form Extensions

hi all,

I would like to note that of the people who have responded in the
affirmative, so far to this CfC, most are members of the HTML WG a11y
taskforce and PF and most also attended CSUN, including myself.

Second, I would like to agree with the criticism that making this

Note the new HTML WG heartbeat publication process is devoid of process
overhead and undue delay, which is why as both an editor and member of the
HTML WG/PF WG and a11y taskforce, I am strongly in favour of this spec,
which is intended to be an integral part of HTML 5.1 be published under the
HTML WG process.
