I agree. I see all of my bugs, issues, and change proposals as an attempt to
improve or correct the HTM5 specification, and nothing more.

I don't want to speak for others, but I would imagine this is the reason
anyone brings up these concerns--and file bugs, raise issues, and write
change proposals. The word "blocking" can be misinterpreted so easily.

But I'm not sure what I should do now when it comes to switching my issues
from RAISED to OPEN, and to sync them with the HTML5 spec? Should I try the
issue edits myself? Or do I need to wait for someone else to do the work?
 I'm wiling to do the work, and decipher the code necessary to make the
connections, but if you all would rather I not, I'm just as happy for
someone else to do the work -- as long as it gets done.

Thanks
