That would be a start to a common understanding of individual differences; but not the overarching matter of convergence. If the goal is true convergence, we need to eliminate all differences and have one spec. I guess a fundamental question is: can decisions made via the decision policy apply not only for the HTMLWG but also for WHATWG? Ian, do you foresee that as a possibility? If that can happen we have a solution. Two specs are not needed. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
