Re: Status of URL Interface?

Given the positive support indicated, one way forward with respect to 
WebApps is for Adam to put his spec into WebApps' Mercurial repo and to 
continue related discussions on public-webapps.

Note, WebApps cannot publish this spec (in w3.org/TR/) until the spec is 
included in the WG's charter. Our current charter does not expire until 
June 2012 and at this point in time, I would not support re-chartering 
just for this one spec. (I am not aware of any urgency to publish this 
spec so if I missed something, please speak up.)

If anyone has any comments or concerns about proceeding as above, please 
send you comments to public-webapps.
