Procedurally, I think there are two distinct efforts and attempting to conflate them hinders both. I am primarily interested in the SQL storage, threading model, and the other new parts of the spec that I would characterize as "tectonic-shifting", but also realize the importance of keeping on with the HTML4 "as-it-occurs-in-the-wild" evolution. It doesn't seem right to have these two efforts operate in the same discussion and spec space. In my head, I currently separate them as: HTML4++ discussion is on public-html list, Web Applications discussion is on WHATWG list. Given that WHATWG list is not part of the W3C, I don't understand how Web API WG fits into the picture. It seems (and says so right here: http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter#deliverables) that client-side storage bits should be handled by this WG, but it doesn't look like it. Should the new features be separated more cleanly from HTML5 into the deliverables of Web API WG? I don't understand the political or historic context surrounding W3C groups, so this is more of a plea for clarity than a suggestion. :DG<
