Hi Ian, >> As a first step in finding a solution to this issue, shall the HTML WG >> restore the summary attribute to HTML5? > > HTML5 already allows the summary="" attribute Do you mean the editor's draft or the latest published draft? The editor's draft is always in a state of flux so a poll based on anything it that would be meaningless. Does the latest published draft incorporate a summary attribute as conforming and not obsolete? I thought that the latest published draft used the caption element in place of summary. http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/SummaryForTABLE#head-9d9debf147f9690e15c53310b609c9054405730d > If we have micro-managed votes on each individual feature we will instead, > despite our best intentions, end up with an incoherent specification that > does not put the user's best interests first and foremost. Nonbinding straw polls may help gauge opinion. But coming to mutual agreement on issues would be much better. Best regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
