The plan is to start a preference poll on this topic in a week or so. We have a rationale published for why Polyglot should continue to proceed on the recommendation track: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/PolyglotRecommendationRationale While I found a fair amount of discussion, the only clear statement I could find is the above, which can be found at the following URL: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Nov/0006.html If anyone know of, or wishes to produce, an updated or more comprehensive statement, please let the co-chairs know before the survey starts. - Sam Ruby
