I just went over the http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/dprv/ survey with Chris Wilson and updated it w.r.t the draft of 2007-08-16 12:26:51 in the wiki http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ProposedDesignPrinciples?action=recall&rev=89 I was just about to issue the survey when I discovered your recent work in CVS. Now I'm not quite sure how to proceed. I'm going to think it over for just a bit; maybe you can phone me or contact me by IRC? I'd like to think that a survey in parallel with your work will be useful. > 1. Cleanup of existing draft. I started by removing the disputed > section. I don't see it in http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ProposedDesignPrinciples . Oh... http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/html5/html-design-principles/Overview.html?rev=HEAD 1.4 2007/08/16 15:39:50 that started as a copy of the wiki as of Jun 26; I gather some useful changes have been made since then, though I'm struggling to find exactly which ones. > I will also make some minor changes for grammar cleanup and > such. > > 2.

See below for how to best provide feedback. I think a survey is a more efficient way to gather information about the level of _support_ for principles as well as critical feedback on them. > 3.
