I will add that this was discussed, and minuted in real time, in yesterday's call: http://www.w3.org/2010/02/11-html-wg-minutes.html#item07 At that time, PaulC specifically requested that Larry post the Formal Objection on the mailing list, and that PLH post the status in response. Larry agreed to do so. If it is not a Formal Objection, then many of us misunderstood, and nothing was done to correct the apparent misunderstanding. > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2010Feb/0002.html > > Regards- > -Doug Schepers - Sam Ruby
