Last week we had a full teleconference (literally: people were being 
turned away).  These people's time is precious: for items that the 
status is "we're continuing to work it, I'll report back in n-weeks" I 
am going to continue to do like I did last week and preemptively move 
the date back a week.  This week that affects:

Action-108/Larry Masinter/html-versioning
Action-103/Julian Reschke/doctype-legacy-compat
Action-86/Julian Reschke/urls-webarch

Remaining items:

Issue-35/Action-114 aria-processing
My understanding is that the ARIA TF has answers to the questions that 
are blocking Ian's progress, but has a policy that prevents them from 
sharing these answers.  I've raised this issue with Phillipe.  I need 
somebody to tell me what I need to do to unblock this or I will continue 
to escalate further.

Issue-32/Action-128 table-summary
Cynthia has provided to me a draft for discussion purposes, we need to 
work out the mechanics.  More specifically, I botched a merge last time 
and I need somebody to look over what I produced this time and simply 
say "yes, that's what I intended".  I've place my intermediate results here:

   http://intertwingly.net/tmp/cynthia/pf-summary-3.html

Issue-74/Action-133 canvas-accessibility
This item is not due this week, but I'm choosing to flag it at this time 
as it as a target date of 2009-12-17 which would preclude us for going 
to Last Call this year.  I'd like to put out a call for volunteers: if 
there is anybody out there with an interest and ability to help pull 
this date in, I would like to ask that they step forward.

= pending review =

Action-34 authoring guide
I suggest closing this item, and treat the status of the H:TML as not 
ready for publication yet, per:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0012.html

Action-106: test suite coordination
It is not clear what I need to review.  Suggest closing.

Action-115: TPAC participants signup
I take it that all that remains is for someone to send a note to 
public-html?  If so, I'll gladly do it and then close this action.

Issue-4/Action-129 html-versioning
Larry has indicated that he believes that this action is complete and 
recommends that it be closed.  I concur.   (Note: action 108 on this 
same issue is still open).

=raised=

After a long gestation process, we hopefully are in our last trimester 
before what will likely be our first last call.  The issues list -- the 
very subject of our the weekly call -- will be that last hurdle.

The goal isn't perfection, the goal is the best we can do.  In the 
process, we've identified a number of potential issues that over an 
extended period of time absolutely nobody has thought important enough 
to make a concrete proposal or even gather up some relevant data. 
Maciej has identified a number of such issues, namely:

issue-5: button-type-radio
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/5

issue-6: videoaudio
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/6

issue-9: video-synchronization
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/9

issue-10: video-smil
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/10

issue-11: default-encoding
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/11

issue-12: test-case-file-names
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/12

issue-16: offline-applications-sql
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/16

issue-17: media-queries-tab-preprocessing
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/17

issue-26: accessibility/usability of HTML5 and W3C default stylesheets
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/26

issue-34: commonality
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/34

issue-36: client-side-storage-sql
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/36

issue-37: html-svg-mathml
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/37

issue-38: style-attr-syntax
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/38

issue-43: client-side image maps
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/43

Additionally, the following issue either needs to be closed or an action 
item needs to be created.

issue-20: table-headers
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/20

Closing this issue by opening a bugzilla item on the newly minted 
testsuite component is fine with me.  This suggestion may also apply to 
issue-12.

Items that are closed may be reopened at future dates if new information 
and -- more importantly -- owners step forward to accept on action items 
that have a reasonable promise of making progress on these items.
