I have updated the HTML5-warnings draft that I intend to publish (if the poll deems that it should be published) by applying Maciej's 3 consistency rules along with one additional criteria (for external spec violations). The set of consistency rules can be found in this e-mail: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0550.html This has resulted in a consistent set of warnings, based on applying the set of rules outlined above. Each warning can be traced to an unresolved tracker issue that is more than 4 months old, a perma-thread conversation (more than 100 messages long) that is more than 4 months old, or is a clear violation of another Internet standard: http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#editor-s-draft-date-14-August-2009 http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#urls http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#fetch http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#misinterpreted-for-compatibility http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#navigating-across-documents http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#microdata http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#obsolete http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#the-source-element http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#alt http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#the-head-element There were a number of accidental technical changes to the previous document that are now corrected: * Removed Web Workers section * Removed Client-side storage section * Removed Server sent events section * Removed Web Sockets section Emotionally charged language has been re-worded to be less emotionally charged and more accurate: * All language mentioning "controversial" sections has been changed to sections "under active discussion". * The mis-representation of the @alt issue has been corrected. * The inaccurate representation of Barth IETF draft has been corrected using Julian's language. By applying the consistency rules to the set of previous warnings, the following warnings have been removed [with the reason they were removed in square brackets], and the URL demonstrating that the warning is no longer included below: * Metadata registry at WHAT WG [No ISSUE in tracker] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#other-metadata-names * The elements of HTML section warning - hgroup, nav, article [No ISSUE in tracker] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#sections * The BB element [No ISSUE in tracker] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#the-bb-element * Garbage collection [No ISSUE in tracker] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#implied-strong-reference * Pre-defined vocabularies [No ISSUE in tracker] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/html5-warnings-draft2-diff.html#predefined-type As promised, I focused on removing warnings, not adding them. The next heartbeat WD will contain all warnings that meet the consistent warning criteria listed above. I intend to open each one of the items above as a tracker ISSUE if there aren't many objections to doing so in the next week. The plan is to integrate tracker issues warnings (that are at least 4 months old) into the W3C WD specs (via a <div> overlay) that are published henceforth. There were a number of voting members that have expressed that making these changes would address their concerns regarding the publishing of the HTML5-warnings draft. If these changes address your concerns, please note your agreement by updating your poll responses: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/wd08/ -- 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/
