You asked a number of specific questions of Microsoft here:

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2009Jul/0093.html

For my purposes, I'm expecting Microsoft to raise any objections to 
whatever they might happen to want to object to, and I'm expecting that 
that will be done prior to Last Call.  As they are aware of this 
expectation and are now actively participating, I'm satisfied.

I'm providing you an opportunity to review what you originally asked for 
and if you are satisfied.  While I was unable to find a way to deal with 
your original objection as a Formal Objection, I have taken the input 
seriously and am trying to follow through with addressing your concerns.

If there is no investigation needed and no disagreement, bugzilla should 
be pursued first.  This is linked off of the HTML WG page, and can be 
found here:

   http://www.w3.org/html/wg/bugzilla

Canvas Accessibility is an example of an issue.  Summary is an example 
of an issue.  The <bb> element appears to be an example of a bug.[1]
