The spec is already published, in fact it's been nothing but published ever since we started five years ago. If you mean that it might reach REC earlier, then I doubt it, but if that really did become an issue before next October, I'd obviously happily change my priorities around get the text split out sooner. Since we need a test suite and two complete bug-free implementations before reaching REC, I doubt that this will become an issue any time soon. > > > If they are final-with-implementations, and can't really be changed, > > > then it makes sense to split them out and publish them > > > > I agree, and would be happy to do that once we have less pressing > > matters. > > It seems that there is disagreement about what matters are pressing. Getting people's feedback dealt with is my priority. If people have different priorities, e.g. making a test suite, then they should do the work to achieve them. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
