Re: Request to move HTML5.1 to Candidate Recommendation (CR)

Hi Marcos,

While it may feel spammy to you, this is a long-standing part of the W3C
Consensus process, and generally speaking all CfCs include the following:

"Positive responses are preferred and encouraged, silence will be
considered as assent."



On the surface, and in principle, I disagree that the "only thing that
matters is objections", as visible signs of strong support matter too.
Receiving a handful of +1 emails is to me an acceptable process (unless
this group chooses to use another means of confirming consensus: perhaps
WBS surveys or similar?)
