Looking back at the mailing list archives, it is clear that most of the
questions about EMMA usage were raised by me and I am neither a chair nor
an editor. Adding more chairs to the CG isn't going to change this. To
their credit both Glen and Hans have been trying find a common language
among all the discussions.

Also note that all of my proposals and questions come from my web developer
background and such perspectives are something the group will get a lot
when taking the API proposal to the standards track.

What we clearly need is to get more web developers and UA vendors
participate, not more chairs or editors.
