This list is for technical discussion of Web technologies and, where absolutely necessary, issues of immediate concern to the WHATWG community. Discussing the ins and outs of W3C mailing lists is not appropriate on this list, as we do not have the authority to effect change at the W3C on this list. > You also characterized the change in a way that I don't believe is > accurate: > > http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/commit-watchers-whatwg.org/2010/004270.html > > What's the best way to address the mischaracterization of the difference > as it is currently described in the WHATWG draft?

If I misunderstood why the example was considered inappropriate by the HTML working group, please let me know, on the HTML working group mailing list or privately, so that I can correct the mistake.
