I must have missed this some where, but why exactly are you doing this? 
And I'm not being facetious, there was a lot of email yesterday, so I 
may have missed what this was about. I understood the issue closings, 
but not the Wiki et al activity.

If you're covering open items that have not been resolved, then I 
believe there are two I added yesterday (issues 76 and 77) that are both 
open, and have not been resolved. I'm fairly sure that they're both 
controversial, too.

How obsolete/deprecated are being handled in HTML 5 underlies much of 
the summary discussion, and also underlies longdesc, as well as how 
other obsoleted elements and attributes are handled.

I would say that the microdata/RDFa issue is also controversial, and we 
know that discussion started back in April, though much of the 
discussion was in the WhatWG.

Regardless, I'm not sure what you're doing, since we have the issues 
list to document these items. Is it for deciding which items should be 
included as warnings in the HTML 5 document?
