Re: [MSE] Proposal to move SourceBufferList.remove() to MediaSource.removeSourceBuffer()

Hi,

I just published a new version of the spec with the proposed changes.

Editors Draft:
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/raw-file/tip/media-source/media-source.html
Change Sets:
  http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/rev/32d0ee562168  - Moved
SourceBufferList.remove() to MediaSource.removeSourceBuffer()
  http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-media/rev/ab36e8e882c6 - Fixed version date
because I forgot to update it in the change above.
