I think this speaks to why we're not ready to release something form  
the WG. This document reflects the diligent work of the WhatWG. And  
it has already been published by the WhatWG. Publishing it again from  
this WG suggests that this WG has had a hand in making it. Nothing  
could be further from the truth. To the audience we publish this to  
it will simply look like we're rubber stamping the WhatWG.

Take care,
Rob
