Similarly, I would encourage you and other members of the W3C HTML working group to participate in the WHATWG effort. In fact, I would say that one very effective way to persue convergence between the two efforts would be to have at least the chairmen of the HTML working group participating in the WHATWG, and the spokesman of the WHATWG participating in the HTMLWG. This would show our respective members that the two groups do intend to cooperate in good faith. To show our commitment to this effort, as the WHATWG spokesman, I have started the process of joining the HTML working group. Participating in the WHATWG effort is a relatively simple process; I would recommend joining the whatwg@whatwg.org mailing list, and starting by sending any comments you may have on our current proposals. http://www.whatwg.org/mailing-list#specs http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/ > I look forward to working on HTML with you.
