In editing the spec I base my decisions on researched data and presented arguments, and not on anyone's opinions. In presenting change proposals for the working group or chairs to make decisions, I similarly expect opinions to not be in any way relevant and for decisions to be made purely on the basis of rational examination of options. For such an examination to be done effectively, all plausible options must be considered. Just as when I edit the spec I consider a wide variety of options, I feel that it is in the interests of the specification for the working group or chairs to consider a variety of plausible options. The goal, for me, is not, and never has been, to get a spec that reflects what I want, or what anyone else wants, or what a majority wants. My goal, and hopefully the goal of everyone else, is to get the best technical document we can get to best further the Web as a whole. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
