Batch Closing of Issues against TPE [Deadline for validating can-live-with consensus: August 20]

Hi Team,


in preparation for tomorrow's TPE call, I started assessing the status 
of our TPE-related ISSUES:

I'd like to thank Roy and David for preparing the next major revision of 
the TPE spec! They have performed a huge push towards implementing all 
our prior discussions and draft agreements as updates to the TPE spec. 
As a consequence, many of our informal agreements are now documented in 
the text and we have the opportunity to make a large leap towards 
closing the remaining TPE issues.

Enclosed is a list of issues that I believe satisfy the following criteria:
    - Have been discussed before
    - Proposed text is in TPE spec
    - I believe that all participants can live with the current text

I would like to double-check that my perception is correct and then 
close these issues.

PLEASE:
- Double check that you can live with the proposed resolution and the 
current corresponding text in the TPE
- Send any comments and clarifying questions to the mailing list
- Send a note if you cannot live with one of the proposed resolutions to 
the chairs and editors at:
   team-tracking-editors@w3.org [In this case, some of the issues will 
be discussed further]

DEADLINE: August 20
- If I do not get further input on any of the issues below, I plan to 
close them by August 20


Regards,
matthias
