I would expect, based on experience of other working groups with similarly complex specs (CSS 2.1, SVG 1.2 Tiny), that multiple Last Calls will be required and that significant changes will have to happen. So I think this estimate is way too optimistic. > 6. 2010-06 HTML5 Proposed Recommendation I would also be highly surprised if we have two complete interoperable implementations as validated by a thorough test suite, only a year from the CR date. So this estimate too seems overly optimistic. > 7. 2010-09 HTML5 Recommendation Cheers, Maciej
