ISSUE-90, ISSUE-91, ISSUE-93, ISSUE-95, ISSUE-96, ISSSUE-97: (new semantic elements/attributes) - Chairs Solicit Alternate Proposals or Counter-Proposals

The current status for these issues:

- We have a Working Group draft that includes a number of new semantic  
elements and attributes.
- We have Change Proposals submitted that propose removing some of  
these:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/removefigure
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/removeaside
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/removedetails
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/removehidden
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/removeprogress
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/removemeter

At this time the Chairs would also like to solicit alternate Change  
Proposals (possibly with "zero edits" as the Proposal Details), in  
case anyone would like to advocate the status quo or a different  
change than the specific one in the existing Change Proposal.

During discussion of these proposals, very similar arguments have been  
mustered for and against the submitted proposals. The Chairs believe  
that a single counter-proposal may be sufficient to address all six of  
these issues, and are willing to accept submissions along those lines.  
Separate counter- or alternate proposals will also be accepted.

If no counter-proposals or alternate proposals are received by May  
6th, 2010, we proceed with a Call for Consensus on Shelley's Change  
Proposals.

Regards,
Maciej
