Tantek Çelik, Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:21:42 -0700: > I was unable to follow Leif's reasoning - especially as it didn't > cite/quote anything from the spec or the decisions. I gladly spell it out for you. Firstly, it documented that it is impossible to follow the reasoning behind your Microformats registratios. The registrations link to the ISSUE-118 check-in, but without actually registering the outcome of ISSUE-118: [1] > You purport to have removed what the the working > group decision "dropped". But actually you haven't. The Editor's > check-in comment, which is the result of the the comment by Maciej that > you were linking to, is useful reading in that regard: [1] > > ]] Drop support for rel=up, rel=last, rel=index, rel=first, **and any > related synonyms**. [[ Secondly, here are the two decisions citations that you jumped over: > First citation: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Apr/0204.html > > ]] the HTML Working Group hereby adopts the "Defer to the > Microformats community for cataloging HTML rel values" [[ (Note the wording "defer to".) > Second citation: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Feb/att-0481/issue-118-decision.html > > ]] No objection explained why registration as extensions was > insufficient, and such registration would allow more time and freedom > to fine-tune the definitions of these relations, independent of the > HTML WG. > > Decision of the Working Group > > Therefore, the HTML Working Group hereby decides to adopt the proposal > to drop support for rel="" values based on the lack of interest from > implementors and users. [[ (Note how the decision explicitly mentions the option of registering ISSUE-118 relations in another registry. And note as well the wording "freedom to fine-tune the definitions, independen tof the HTML WG".) [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jun/0349 -- Leif Halvard Silli
