I'll put it on the TAG's agenda for our call on Sept. 1. I think I've given my personal opinion, which is: if recent email discussion has uncovered a possibility that increased investment in XML5-like directions is likely lead to good things, then we should: * At least indicate that much in the report prior to requesting broader feedback. * Maybe find the energy in our little task force to do the next round of investigations ourselves, and report on the results. If, as I had originally thought, those directions were deemed unlikely to succeed, then I agree we should publish a draft, perhaps modified with introductory text as I had proposed at [1]. In short: I think our group was formed with some responsibility to try and bring the stacks together, presumably by suggesting changes to either HTML and/or XML. If we've tried and found nothing worth doing, then we should use text such as that at [1] to say so. If in fact there are promising directions (such as XML5) for increased unification, then we should make that clear, and try to start the community on the path to doing the actual work. Other than that, I'm fine with Norm's proposal to publish for more widespread review. Noah [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-xml/2011Aug/0005.html
