Hi Alex, I don't exactly know how the HTML WG responds to issues that are being tracked in bugzilla. I had assumed that when an issue was "closed" (for some definition of "closed") that the commenter would receive notice. > Particularly my comments/proposal on the DOM XPath JavaScript > binding and on Frames Through CSS seem a very important issue to me, > because I believe they take programming in these contexts one step > ahead. > > Currently I have the feeling that anything I write ends up either in > a Junk folder or in some killing file.

On the HTML WG home page: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/ I see both "bugzilla" and "tracker"; so tracker may offer a way to follow progress as well: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/ You may wish to write to the Team contact (Mike Smith <mike@w3.org>) for more information about how to track your suggestions. _ Ian > > (I have requested GMANE to add the site-comments mailing list to its > newsgroup archive.
