Noah As you may have noticed we have issued a Call For Consensus to publish the : "HTML5 Edition for Web Authors" as a first public Working Draft since we overlooked to do this previously. See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0092.html In addition we have removed the "non-normative" text from the candidate document. We also plan to reformat this document as a W3C Working Draft if the CfC is successful. /paulc Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329 -----Original Message----- From: Noah Mendelsohn [mailto:nrm@arcanedomain.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 4:34 PM To: Paul Cotton Cc: public-html@w3.org; www-tag@w3.org Subject: Normative status of author-only view of the HTML5 specification Paul, I am writing to follow up on the status of the author-only view of the HTML5 specification, the document now known as the: "HTML5 Edition for Web Authors". In November of 2010, the working group propsed [2] and the TAG agreed that carrying forward the author view >as a normative reference< would be an acceptable compromise to resolve the TAG's concerns regarding availability of a language reference for HTML5. The TAG is therefore concerned and disappointed to find that the version published as part of the recent Last Call [2] is clearly labeled as "non-normative". I hope this was merely a clerical error or other misunderstanding, but in any case I would be grateful if you would clarify the situation. Thank you very much.
