During WebApps' 31-Oct-2010 TPAC meeting, the group agreed [1] DOM Parsing and Serialization [2] was in scope and Chaals added it as an explicit deliverable in the Draft charter that will soon be submitted to the AC for approval. During that meeting Ms2ger expressed some interest in editing it in W3C space. Ms2ger - would you please clarify your intent with this spec vis-à-vis the W3C? Additionally, Doug agreed to "ask the SVG WG for editors". Doug - what is the status of this action? Anyhow, I don't have a strong opinion of which WG should take the lead here and if someone does, please speak up. -Thanks, ArtB [1] http://www.w3.org/2011/10/31-webapps-minutes.html#item11 [2] http://html5.org/specs/dom-parsing.html > > Regards, > Maciej >
