dan and chris: in my 2 objections registered with the WBS system and posted to the list as: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007May/0652.html i made an argument for using HTML4x as a foundational document and listed all of our W3C dependencies, and proposed that rather than accepting the Web Apps 2.0 in toto, we treat each innovation change or deprecation on a case-by-case basis... but my deeper concerns were expressed in: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007May/0586.html wherein i re-stated what i had written into the straw poll's freeform comments section: quote Question: does every member of the WG get a vote, even if there are a number of representatives from companies X, Y, and Z? should they not have to come to consensus on a vote amongst themselves before casting a formal vote? otherwise, this straw polling system could well prove unrepresentative, in that if vendors want to carry the day, they can flood the poll with bullet votes. unquote no one has replied to this query, which -- in a group such as this -- i believe is a question of import; this isn't just a single query, but a meta-query of the W3C working group process... gregory j. rosmaita -------------------------------------------------------------- He who lives on hope, dies farting. -- Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1763 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory J.
