Personally I believe this proposal should be dealt with in the same way as the WG is processing the Encrypted Media and Media Services proposals ie as items that will be done separately from the current HTML5 specification(s).  But eventually it will be the HTML WG that will make this decision.

This is great news! I really appreciate the prompt attention being given to this issue. I’d love to see this included under the HTML5 umbrella for the sake of making it available to implementors and authors as soon as possible, but I don’t know that the other treatment necessarily precludes that—I’m sort of new to all this, after all. If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

It’s great to see that a solution is in the works! There’s no small amount of buzz about this from the developer community, and I’m really looking forward to announcing that a fix is on the horizon.

Thanks,
Mat Marquis
