Thanks Julian, I will replace that language tonight, as it is more accurate. >>> Optimally, the "hyperlink auditing" (a/@ping) section should be >>> mentioned as well. >> >> I'd be happy to mark this section as controversial as long as there is >> an explanation or discussion related to why that section should be >> marked.

Holy perma-thread, Batman. You've convinced me. It's going to take me a while to go through: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/1 Currently, I intend to mark the "Hyperlink auditing" section as controversial in the heartbeat WD after this one. The only thing that could stop the warning language is if it's clear, after reviewing the very long thread of discussion relating to "Hyperlink auditing", that there is a widely-understood solution or compromise. I'm reluctant to add items and would like to focus on removals of warning language for this poll. Is this acceptable to you, Julian? -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny) (twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.1 Released - Browser-based P2P Commerce http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2009/06/29/browser-based-p2p-commerce/
