In the short term, nothing will change unless people start making concrete proposals as to what they want to see taken out of the document. That being said, in the long term what you are describing is exactly what will happen as features for which we can't demeonstrate interoperability will have to be jettisoned later in the process. So: you can be a part of the process and help things along; or you can simply wait and we will end up in the same place anyway. We just will get there sooner (and with a lot less wasted effort) if people like you identify what parts should be effectively held back -- I say this as removal from HTML5 will not make such features ineligible for inclusion in HTML.next. I encourage you to participate. - Sam Ruby
