Resolution of the MAWG:
---------------------------------

This 3 rd Last Call Working Draft [2] of the API for Media Resource 1.0 
follows multiple publications. In the last 2 years, the group has 
published a first and a second Last Call Working Draft and a Candidate 
Recommendation.

After Candidate Recommendation we had to make a few changes, based on 
implementation experience. This triggered this 3 rd Last Call Working Draft.

Therefore there was multiple reviews and opportunities to send feedback.

Implementations are now stable and the group fulfills the Candidate 
Recommendation exit criteria in order to move this API specification to 
Proposed Recommendation.

1- The scope of comments for this 3rd Last Call [2] is restricted to the 
changes introduced since the Candidate Recommendation, as it is 
mentioned in the Status of this document Section.

--> Unfortunately, your comment about callback syntax is out of scope of 
this 3rd Last Call.

2- The proposed alternative solution references a WhatWG document. 
Adopting this solution would require using a normative reference, which 
cannot be done as long as this document is not on the W3C Recommendation 
Track.


3- Implementation are well advanced and cover the Specification allowing 
to move to Proposed Recommendation (There was already a Candidate 
Recommendation phase where we fulfilled exit criteria)

4- We may introduce your proposal if the Media Annotations Working Group 
specifies a new version of this API for Media Resource and if the 
proposed alternative solution about callback syntax is well advanced on 
the W3C Recommendation Track.
