Relevant links: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v2.html "If any Working Group member sees a change go into any draft subject to a cutoff that seems controversial and likely to reduce rather than increase consensus, the correct step is to let the Chairs know, ideally via a post to the public list." http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0125.html "If any Working Group member sees a change go into any Last Call-track draft after the October 1st cutoff that seems controversial and likely to reduce rather than increase consensus, please let the Chairs know and we will make the call." - - - My input (without having vetted it yet with my co-chairs) is that I have yet to see any technical justification for this revert request, so I would not support it at this time. I do, however, see that the TrackerRequest keyword has been added, and if raising an issue will ultimately result in a Change Proposal that includes a technical rationale, I would support the opening of an issue. Note that this step doesn't need to wait for a chair action, any of the following may take this step: http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=41863 - - - Finally, if there are comments on the process for changes made without prior discussion on the working group, I encourage them to be recorded in the Decision Policy bug on that topic: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12734 > Shelley - Sam Ruby
