HTML WG issues scheduled to close Dec 17 comments

Reviewing http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html

ISSUE-27: scheduled to close without prejudice if no change proposal is produced by Dec 17.
I think if there is a volunteer to write a change proposal, and the volunteer doesn't produce the change proposal by the deadline, then if the action is "Will close without prejudice if Change Proposal is not complete by the deadline." should allow someone else to write a change proposal, even if no "new information" is presented (as might be required otherwise.) In this case, I wouldn't want to spend time trying to write a change proposal since it looks likely that Paul will complete his action in time, but I care about the issue enough to try to submit a change proposal if Paul doesn't manage to hit the deadline.

ISSUE-59 and ISSUE-67: Issue 59 (and Issue-67 which is related). These were raised in a  joint HTML / TAG session. (I wasn't there; I wasn't part of  the TAG until well after this meeting).  However,  I think the TAG is scheduling a review of the various language reference documents soon, but I think closing these issues should be coordinated with the TAG discussions.  Please coordinate with the TAG chair before closing these issues.

 ISSUE-73: I think this issue depends on the resolution of ISSUE-76: (re)moving microdata from the HTML5 spec should also (re)move the predefined vocabularies for microdata. Please delay closing of ISSUE-73 until after ISSUE-76 is decided and the necessity of these vocabularies is clearer (that was one of my comments on the 'split microdata' change proposal, it should also remove the predefined vocabularies.)
