Your email assumes the current process stays in place and then provides guidelines around that. Isn't the point of public-w3process to fix the current process? E.g. we tried something like what you described for XMLHttpRequest, but it did not really go anywhere and ended up wasting a lot of time by having to produce separate drafts for Level 1 and 2, dealing with the various draft stages, etc. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
