Hi Adam, > @2010-06-15 23:41 -0700: > On who's behalf did you raise the issue? I had assumed Roy because > you quoted his email. I raised it on behalf of Roy. But there were others who disagreed with it from the beginning -- when the text in question was first added to the spec -- and it there was never any ambiguity about it being something contentious that we would need to get some kind of resolution on. I will say I think that at the time when I raised this (two years ago, in 2008), we had not started using bugzilla yet (I initially set up our bugzilla informally, long before we had a formal decision policy for it to take part in -- and incidentally, there were members of the group who objected to me even setting it up at all at that time) and the Tracker was the main means we had of recording disagreements about spec text. Certainly it was long before we had the current decision policy documented, and so before we had a formal process for escalation. Were this disagreement to have come up now, I never would have been the one to take any action on it personally; it instead would have needed to begin life as a bugzilla bug against the HTML5 spec and go through normal process we use now. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
