I tried (unsuccessfully) to get Ian to actually respond to the decisions that were posted, but failing to do so and seeing commit 5001 come into my email, I started focusing on that. Seeing the WG on the whole repeating much of this (and by that I mean reacting to what they imagine might have been the reason as opposed to what actually was said), I will merely request that people try actually respond to the actual decision, filing bug reports on the process and/or escallating as they see fit.

I encourage people to read and respond to the following email from January: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jan/att-0218/issue-76-decision.html For the tl;dr crowd, all you need to read is the final paragraph. I encourage people to weigh for themselves how the factors mentioned in that paragraph apply to microdata and the class attribute. > Why is postMessage() split out but showModalDialeg() not? > Why is the 2D context interface out but ApplicationCache not? I honestly can't answer that question. No Work Group decision was made in either case. People who are wondering this will need to ask the person who made that decision. I encourage people to read and respond to the following email from Ian from January: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jan/0320.html - Sam Ruby
