Jonas, I encourage you to update your change proposal to include all of 
the relevant information, and in particular to address the feedback below:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Dec/0182.html

While updating the proposal is entirely optional, I will suggest that if 
you do not chose to update the proposal based on this feedback it is 
unlikely that your proposal will be the one selected.  In particular, 
the lack of use cases is particularly problematic.
