Re: [Issue-75] - Domain

(trying to minimize the number of mails, hence replying to several 
aspects in this mail)

Hi Christian, Pablo, all,

at Christian: you write at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-comments/2013Jan/0034.html
that 2b of your comment is resolved. How about 2a? If you are not 
satisfied with the replies in this thread, could you propose a change to 
the spec?

Wrt to your proposal below (add a note about 2b to the spec): sure, do 
you want to draft something? The same for 2a (if you don't have a 
specific solution in mind, stating the issue might already be helpful).

Wrt to 1 (local domain): would this also be relevant for other 
implementers of domain (asking again)?

Best,

Felix
