As per Sam's request, this e-mail is a report of the status of issues on the agenda that have actions due before 2009-03-19 (11 days from now), from the persective of the spec. ISSUE-72 (WF2-superseded-by-HTML5): Need to make it publicly clear that http://www.w3.org/TR/web-forms-2/ is obsoleted by HTML5 This seems done. ISSUE-54 (doctype-legacy-compat): tools that can't generate <!DOCTYPE html> ISSUE-31 (missing-alt): What to do when a reasonable text equivalent is unknown/unavailable? ISSUE-20 (table-headers): Improvements to the table-headers algorithm in the HTML 5 spec ISSUE-55 (head-profile): head/@profile missing, but used in other specifications/formats ISSUE-60 (html5-xhtml-namespace): Reuse of 1999 XHTML namespace is potentially misleading/wrong ISSUE-4 (html-versioning): HTML Versioning and DOCTYPEs ISSUE-32 (table-summary): how to provide a summary of a table, e.g. for unsighted navigation? ISSUE-13 (handling-http-401-status): Handling HTTP status 401 responses / User Agent Authentication Forms It's not clear to me what needs changing in the spec for these issues. As far as I am aware all feedback has been taken into account. I am not aware of any proposals that address any more of the use cases detailed for these issues than the current text in the spec without causing more harm than the spec as it stands today. ISSUE-59 (normative-language-reference): Should the HTML WG produce a separate document that is a normative language reference and if so what are the requirements I am working on autogenerating such a document from the spec. I'm about 40% done. ISSUE-37 (html-svg-mathml): Integration of SVG and MathML into text/html This is pending on a response from the SVG group. Implementation work has been occurring in browsers, though, and this may become a moot point if those ship. ISSUE-56 (urls-webarch): Assess whether "URLs" section/definition conflicts with Web architecture This is pending work by DanC to split the controversial part out into an I-D for RFC standards track. ISSUE-63 (origin-req-scope): Origin header: in scope? required for this release? This is pending work by Adam Barth to create an I-D for RFC standards track that defines what HTML5 has to do.
