My comment: The issue of Microdata has been escalated according to the process. Discussion is appropriate while Manu finishes off his Change Proposal (I think he's got most of the needed content) and after he formally proposes it to the group. Once we make a WG decision, then it will be time to move on. Until then, please let's not shut down the conversation. People are participating in an appropriate and non- disruptive way, and this process will help us get to a definitive resolution. Regards, Maciej
