1.5) And, on the lighter side
=============================

* “Oh, so those WHATWG folks didn’t mean to make W3C look like the

awkward.”

2) Open Web & net neutrality
============================

Fight For The Future: Battle for the Net!
The Internet Slowdown starts at midnight eastern time on September 10th,  
and runs through midnight on September 11th.
The point is to remind everyone what an Internet without net neutrality  
would look like, and drive record numbers of emails and calls to lawmakers.
The goal is to drive as many emails and calls to Congress, the White  
House, and the FCC as possible.
