Hi anne, >guess we believe more in argument and evidence than process. I also believe in argument and evidence, I just don't believe in ian hickson being the sole decision maker of what constitues a valid argument or reasonable evidence. Don't you think it is a ironic that you talk about an 'appeal to authority' in negative terms when the only way to get things into the spec is to have one person make a judgement on the virtues of an argument or evidence? The ultimate authority figure. and the beat goes on... stevef 2008/8/29 Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com>: > On Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:48:11 +0200, Steven Faulkner > <faulkner.steve@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> It took me by surprise that a whatwg IRC regular such as yourself was >> citing the charter, the statement was a general remark, not intended >> to necessarily imply that you personally have disdain for the html WG >> charter, but as a comment on the usally derisive remarks and comments >> of your peers that litter the IRC when W3C HTML WG process or the W3C >> in general is cited as a reason to take a particular action. > > I guess we believe more in argument and evidence than process.
