Re: How can external organization reference draft W3C specifications

Even if it is a duplicate, it i easy to determine this later when a proposed solution may potentially cover one or more issues.
Calling it out separately at least allows the commentator to actually see that the issue was raised, duplicate or not.

Calling it out separately does not imply having a separate solution, it only implies making sure whatever solution is found, if any, covers it -- otherwise, to be consistent with your stance, you should merge the other three items into one.

You cross-posted this to two different groups (the CG and the AB). As
chair of the CG I'd like to clarify. The chair of the AB said that the
issue was covered under three of the items posted as issues by the AB
(archived publicly at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2012Mar/att-0007/AB_List_of_Concerns-20120306.htm
for those who missed it).

This Community Group (where the thread began) can happily raise a specific
issue, discuss and provide feedback to the AB and/or AC explaining which
of the questions they are discussing the issue touches. Any reason not to
do that, with Jeff's wording?

cheers
