Rafael, All - having received no additional feedback and only voices of support for publishing a WG Note, the main questions seem to be: 1) whether the Note should be gutted (f.ex. see [1]) or not; 2) should the ED be gutted too. Although I agree gutting the Note would be a bit "heavy-handed" as you say, it does eliminate the possibility of the contents being different than HTMLWG's version. As such, I prefer gutting both the Note and the ED and adding a prominent warning plus a link to HTML. For example, borrowing from [1], adding something like to the Status of This Document section: [[ <strong>Work on this document has been discontinued and it should not be referenced or used as a basis for implementation. The features previously specified in this document are now specified in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/scripting-1.html#the-template-element">HTML5</a>.</strong> ]] WDYT? -Thanks, Art [1] <http://www.w3.org/TR/contacts-api/> >> On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 7:27 AM, Arthur Barstow >> <art.barstow@nokia.com <mailto:art.barstow@nokia.com>> wrote: >> >> On 2/26/14 9:43 AM, ext Arthur Barstow wrote: >> >> Hi Robin, Dimitri, All, >> >> Since HTML Templates is now part of HTML5, to help avoid >> confusion, I think WebApps' last TR of the spec >> ([html-templates]) should be replaced with a WG Note that >> clearly indicates WebApps' work on the standalone spec has >> stopped and the feature is now part of HTML5.
