The current objection does not impact the HTML5 specification. It does however impact the other documents: RDFa, Microsoft, and Context 2D API. > I can only say that my understanding is incomplete.

We are working at understanding the nature of the objection as well. My current understanding is that the objection is related to the scope of the Working Group and which documents are considered to be on the W3C Recommendation track [1]. Almost all emails related to the formal objection and relevant for the topic are archived in www-archive or w3c-archive. The message directly addressed to the team did not contain the rational but Larry documented the rational for the objection at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-archive/2010Feb/0100.html Per section 3.5 of the W3C Process [2], we are required to address the objection and we intend to do so in a timely manner. At the moment, our advise to the HTML Working Group co-chairs is to continue the CfC as planned, and for Larry Masinter to reply to the CfC, as advised by the HTML WG co-Chairs as well.
