The TAG discussed the status of distributed extensibility support in HTML 5 at its telcon on 2010-02-25. We are concerned that the current state of the HTML 5 specification does not provide well enough for distributed extensibility, and that the use cases and mechanisms discussed at the TPAC session on extensibility [1] and in the TAG f2f of 10 December [2,3] and TAG telcons of 7 and 14 January [4, 5] should be considered and evaluated by the HTML WG. The TAG would like to see focussed discussion and evaluation of candidate mechanisms to address the distributed extensibility use cases happen within the HTML Working Group, and accordingly has encouraged the authors of a number of proposals in the area to submit them to you in the form of Change Proposals. Since such proposals are likely to involve significant changes to some aspects of the existing HTML 5 specification, it may prove difficult to frame them as full Change Proposals within a month of notification to you of intention to produce one. We note with thanks your subsequent clarification [6]: Anyone who volunteers during that one-month period will get at least a month from the time they volunteer, and the chairs are likely to grant requests for reasonable extensions beyond that. and would be happy to help with managing any scheduling problems which arise. Thank you, very much for you consideration of the above.

Tracker, this is in partial fulfillment of TAG ACTION-396 (I'm afraid tracker is going to make some spurious references, given the cross posting of this to public-html and www-tag, but I suppose too many is better than not enough. -------------------------------------- Noah Mendelsohn IBM Corporation One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 1-617-693-4036 --------------------------------------
