Here's a few links, there may be more but this is a start: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Aug/0142.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Aug/0346.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-wg-announce/2012JulSep/0023.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Sep/0020.html Additionally I will share that the 3 HTML WG co-chairs flew to Boston to meet with Jeff Jaffe, Tim Berners-Lee, Philippe Le Hegaret, and Judy Brewer. Janina participated via phone. This plan is the outcome of those discussions: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Sep/0243.html The one thing I want to be careful to note: while Judy and Janina have co-signed the plan, neither Jeff nor Tim have signed off on it just yet. It truly is a draft. I'm keeping track of known items to be worked, and that includes at least one known and acknowledged bug. I would expect that we will present a second draft next week. - Sam Ruby
