Maciej, thank you for the verification.

A few questions: Is there a timeline with milestones for HTML.next?
Could adaptive images be mentioned in the charter as a deliverable? If
I remember correctly, I think at one time Paul said that this proposal
could be discussed as part of the charter discussion.

> if the stakeholders are willing.

Mat, which do you prefer? Keeping the bug in HTML5 or moving it to  HTML.next?

Best Regards,
Laura

The more relevant policy change is this: <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16674>. As far as we're concerned, we're already open to "too late for new features" as an argument. A proposed new feature would have to meet a very high standard to be included at this point. An example of a reason that may be sufficiently compelling would be missing accessibility functionality for features that are new to HTML5.
