--- Comment #25 from Tony Ross [MSFT] <tross@microsoft.com> 2012-01-15 03:00:51 UTC ---
I'd like the change enacted as a result of this bug reconsidered. I'm not
opposed to defining innerHTML and friends in another spec, but I'm concerned
because the actual edit moved the definition of these APIs outside of the W3C
entirely.
Such a change is notable because it removes patent policy obligations from
working group members in relation to these APIs. This protection is important
to Microsoft as it helps ensure specifications can be implemented on a
royalty-free basis.
I'm aware that DOM Parsing and Serialization has since been approved for
addition to the Web Apps WG charter and this may ultimately resolve my
concerns. However that spec has not yet been published within the W3C. At the
moment HTML5 continues to normatively reference an external specification for
these APIs that does not have a patent policy in place.
