Jon, I agree there is a communication problem. I have a concern that requirements submitted by the PF 1.5 years ago have not even been read by some DOM WG members. If there were problems then we could have used the time to address them.

To make the W3C process work we need to focus on making sure we all understand the need and possible solutions. The solutions can come from past techniques or from new ideas, but let's use this discussion to point out the technical deficiencies or capabilities of proposed solutions in meeting the need. If there were proposed specifications from a year ago that are not apart of the current specification, it would be more useful to discuss how the current specification differs from the proposed specification and/or how the current specification could be modified.
