The Chairs have discussed the matter and we came to the following conclusions: ------------------- Manu's Change Proposal does not, as currently written, imply automatic FPWD for a split out Microdata spec, because it does not specifically mention the publication of a new Working Draft in the Summary or Details. If a future Change Proposal asked for a new Working Draft explicitly, possibly in addition to spec changes, then we would consider the Working Group adopting that Change Proposal to be equivalent to an FPWD resolution. We suggest that Manu should update his Change Proposal to explicitly ask for publication of a new Working Draft for Microdata if that was his intent. Regards, Maciej
