The proposed Decision Policy[1] gives a clear way to get rationale in the form of an Editor's Response for anything in the spec you disagree with or don't understand. But in some cases, issues have been escalated all the way up to the Issue Tracker before we put the policy in place. In such cases, if you are interested in hearing rationale for the current state of the spec, I recommend one of the following: - If you are interested in a Tracker Issue, there is an existing bugzilla bug related to it that was resolved before hte new policy, it's ok to reopen the bugzilla bug once and ask for an Editor's Response. - If there is no bugzilla bug at all relating to a Tracker Issue, feel free to file one. - If there's no tracker issue for an aspect of the spec you don't understand or disagree with, go ahead and file a bug! In case you're curious what kind of information is getting added to resolved bugs, here is a random sampling of recent ones that includes the Editor's Response info, and a spec diff link where appropriate: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8052 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7905 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7972 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7897 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8035 Regards, Maciej [1] http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html
