My hope is that both specs can be the same document. The W3C has done this sort of thing before, with Web Forms 2 and XBL2. Other standards organizations have done joint standards before as well, for instance AVC/H.264 is a joint effort between the ISO and the ITU. In the worst case, Ian has already said he wants to keep the WHATWG spec strictly a compatible superset and I think that is a worthy goal. Regards, Maciej
