As per Sam's request, this e-mail is a report of the status of issues on the agenda that have actions due before 2009-05-22 (11 days from now), from the persective of the spec. ISSUE-31 (missing-alt): What to do when a reasonable text equivalent is unknown/unavailable? There is some new feedback on this topic that I haven't yet taken into account. ISSUE-41 (Decentralized-extensibility): Decentralized extensibility I recently wrote a proposal for a way for communities and individuals to mark up name-value pair data in HTML in a consistently processable manner, which has become known as "microdata". Given the controversy around this topic, I expect we will have many lively debates about it in the coming weeks, and I expect the proposal to change to take into account issues that people find with it. There are also some specific use cases that I haven't yet dealt with, which I will continue to deal with over the next few days. ISSUE-63 (origin-req-scope): Origin header: in scope? required for this release? Based on Adam's advice, I recently updated the Origin text in the spec to match his Internet Draft. Further progress is blocked on the IETF publishing this as a standards-track document (along with the review that is involved with this, of course). ISSUE-35 (aria-processing): Need to define processing requirements for aria states and properties when used in html I'm waiting for the ARIA group to respond to last call feedback. 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-54 (doctype-legacy-compat): tools that can't generate <!DOCTYPE html> 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 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 /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
