One part of it is done, the 2D API split, but not the clean up in HTML5, or working through some of the interface issues. I asked a question on this, but wasn't answered, so am not sure what's happening with Canvas.

I'm spending November devoted to one thing: writing up bugs, escalating bugs to issues, and *writing change proposals (and the MathML comments). I know others are doing the same. Now is the time to do these things. I'd like to propose something, first, though. I would remove my objection to another heart beat document if the HTML5 author agrees not to make any additional changes to the document that can't be specifically tied back to a change request or bug entered into the W3C bug database. If the document is stable enough to be a WhatWG document, there shouldn't be anything about the document that is currently undergoing change _except_ for changes based on feedback. And that feedback should be documented, formally. The changes should not be occurring because of loose discussions in IRC, or hallways discussions when it comes to that. They shouldn't be _just_ in the WhatWG database, either, or occurring spontaneously. There should be a an accountability of changes to the document from this moment on. Is this a fair request to make? >>> >>> - Sam Ruby >>> Shelley
