I don't suspect that the next target is October. I'd like to see quarterly "heartbeats". And give the lack of consensus on a number of issues, in particular on a number of issues where features which are present in HTML 4, are implemented in good faith by a number of tools, but don't ever seem to meet the editor's bar for inclusion in HTML 5, I remain deeply skeptical on the notion of this working group reaching Last Call in October. > I am surprised to learn this in the context of another thread. > Chris Wilson raised the possibility in a message sent on > 22nd January 2009 : > >> As Sam intimated in this mail, we would like to get a new WD of HTML-5 >> out by early February.

The notification of the actual publication could have been handled better. The decision to publish, however, was openly and widely discussed over a long period of time.
