"We" are never (in any realistic time sense) going to "reach" CR. It will be
a string of editors' (or editor's, as I understand the current situation)
working drafts for the next few years. This will simply not be a
consensus-reaching process. The best thing to do is skip this whole HTML 5
diversion and get on with making "everyone/everything/everywhere/always
connected" - which already has a great start with the billions of telephones
already connected to the Web. HTML 5 has no possibility of helping with the
"One World, One Web" dream that will happen well before we quit arguing
about alt attributes, etc.

Love.
