Well, our plan of record as recorded in <http://www.w3.org/2010/webevents/wiki/ToDo#Touch_Events_v2> says we will produce a v2 version although it will be a WG Note. Assuming we still intend to publish the v2 Note, we can of course eliminate "version 1" from our v1 Recommendation but I'm not sure if we should or not. Is there a good precedence here? ATM, I don't have a strong opinion either way. -AB > > Let me know if all of this is okay with you. > > Regards- > -Doug > > > > On 9/18/13 6:52 AM, S. Moon wrote: >> Doug, >> >> Looks good to me.
