As per Sam's request, this e-mail is a report of the status of issues on the agenda that have actions due before 2009-04-03 (11 days from now), from the persective of the spec. ISSUE-56 (urls-webarch): Assess whether "URLs" section/definition conflicts with Web architecture I propose that we publish DanC's document. Having this document on a standards track at the W3C or the IETF is the only thing blocking the removal of the text from the HTML5 spec. 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 The HTML5 spec itself now has an alternative style sheet that enables readers to view it with no implementation requirements. I would like to hear feedback from the people who had been requesting this. ACTION-114 on Cynthia Shelly: Report progress on ARIA TF due 26 Mar 2009 - due 2009-03-26 - open An update on where ARIA implementation requirements stand would be useful for planning purposes. ACTION-117 on Doug Schepers: Get svg working group to propose specific text - due 2009-03-26 - open It's not clear that specific text would be especially useful; the proposal was clear enough on what was desired as far as I can tell. What would be particularly helpful is replies to the topics discussed by these e-mails: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Mar/0230.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Mar/0231.html It is not clear to me whether the SVGWG agrees with the reasoning I put forward on these issues or whether I am wrong; in the latter case, it would be helpful if my errors could be pointed out. Modulo those issues, I expect to integrate the SVGWG's proposal into the HTML5 spec within a few days. ISSUE-31 (missing-alt): What to do when a reasonable text equivalent is unknown/unavailable? ISSUE-54 (doctype-legacy-compat): tools that can't generate <!DOCTYPE html> 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? It's not clear to me what needs changing in the spec for these issues. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
