What I'm asking is that you follow the Decision Policy guidelines for what should go in a bug: <http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#bugzilla-bug >. I don't think bug 7034 satisfies any of those four bullet points in its current state. And I'm letting you know that if the bug report doesn't meet those guidelines, the likely result is NEEDSINFO, and that I at least would agree with that resolution. If you're not interested in doing anything further to avoid that outcome, then I am satisfied to leave the bug alone. Regards, Maciej
