I base that on John withdrawing his draft based on a recent change Ian made: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0286.html I would like to give everybody an who supported stopping the publication of Ian's current Editors Draft as a Working Group Draft but had not stepped forward with a draft of their own simply because John's was out there an *extremely limited* opportunity to do so at this time. Specifically, if you have an alternate draft to propose, and do so by Sunday midnight EDT, I will consider how to deal with such (hint: for starters, I will be looking for at least two independent supporters before we consume additional Working Group time on this issue). Otherwise, I will simply ask that Ian's draft be published. I will note that as Laura pointed out, until recently both drafts explicitly indicated that this was an issue to be aware of, and that the current draft does not. My believe is that previously Ian had agreed to add such a issue box, and that Maciej's compromise request did not ask him to take it out, and that it would be better if it were in there. But that's just a preference, I don't in any way object to publishing Ian's draft as is. In any case, despite making great progress, I still consider Issue 32[2] to very much be open. As I said on my blog post, I believe that we are finally well on our way towards getting this to closure. I base this not only on Ian's changes (as a direct result of Maciej's efforts) but based on having seen early drafts on a PF Working Group proposal (which I will also note are being updated based on Maciej's efforts). Cynthia reconfirmed on today's call that the PF Working Group still intends to submit such a draft for consideration. In total, I consider that great progress over where we were just a week ago. Thanks go out to all, especially Cynthia, Ian, John and Maciej. - Sam Ruby [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0315.html [2] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/32
