I'm not sure the survey or its revisions gets to the heart of the problem, at least the one I see. We seem to have the following choices: A) Publish the HTML5 document and forget the Markup Language document B) Publish the HTML5 document as normative, and the Markup language as informative C) Publish the HTML5 document as normative on semantics and informative on syntax, and markup the other way D) Publish them both as normative Problems A) the markup document seems to have an audience and utility, and this would ignore that B) some people might not read the markup document if it's informative only (isn't that their problem?) C) you'd have to read both documents and hope they are very carefully tied together, to get a full normative picture D) if they disagree, we have a serious problem Are there other possible courses of action, other objections? Once we settle on a course of action, a decision as to whether the markup document is ready to start down its course will be, I project, easier. Are we really hearing a lot of objection to (B)? -- David Singer Multimedia Standards, Apple Inc.
