Re: CfC: Publication of two Presentation API Reports

Hi Dominik,

IIUC, you've undated the draft report with material from the Wiki. But this
material was still the subject of some debate with at least one major open
issue. What promoted the move to CfC before closing the discussion on the
wiki proposal ?

At least the issue should be clearly described in the report. (I'm
referring here to the inability of the API proposed to convey to the page
whether there are one or more *suitable* displays available - where
suitable means they might actually be able to render the intended content.
With the API as is, the use will be presented with displays even in cases
where the UA and site together could easily determine that the rendering
will fail).

...Mark
