Everything is archived, so previous arguments are captured and can be pointed to. We we are doing is encouraging people to follow a process that has long been available to everybody but one seldom chosen, perhaps because we haven't done as good as a job as we could on education. A process that in our experience has proven to produce less objections and more progress. It is also not clear that there is merit to evaluating objections leading to a decision which may result in a request to the editors to insert text, and then immediately following that give the editors instructions to begin the process of removing features considered 'at risk'. In the specific case of issue 185, these two steps need to be flipped around. In particular we need data on whether the pubdate and moddate attributes meet the proposed CR Exit Criteria: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Sep/0215.html - Sam Ruby > On 20 September 2012 14:24, Sam Ruby <rubys@intertwingly.net > <mailto:rubys@intertwingly.net>> wrote: > > On 09/20/2012 08:19 AM, Ian Devlin wrote: > > What exactly is an "extension specification"? > > Definition can be found here: > > http://dev.w3.org/html5/__decision-policy/html5-2014-__plan.html#extension-specs > <http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/html5-2014-plan.html#extension-specs> > > Examples can be found here: > > http://dev.w3.org/html5/__decision-policy/html5-2014-__plan.html#modularity > <http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/html5-2014-plan.html#modularity> > > - Sam Ruby > > > > > -- > ian devlin > e: ian@iandevlin.com <mailto:ian@iandevlin.com> > w: www.iandevlin.com <http://www.iandevlin.com> > t: @iandevlin <http://www.twitter.com/iandevlin> > skype: idevlin > > buy my book: html5 multimedia: develop and design > <http://html5multimedia.com> >
