So it seems like one way forward would be to use Henri's http://hsivonen.iki.fi/aria-html5-bis/ doc as a starting point among whomever it is that you want to try to get agreement from, modify it to match whatever consensus emerges, and produce a DTD (if that's what you really think you need) based on that. But regardless of what you do, there's somebody that will need to do the actual work of modifying or writing the spec and producing the DTD. I would really doubt that you're going find any volunteers stepping forward who have not been involved in the discussions at all yet -- so it seems like it's probably going to need to be somebody from among the group of people who've already been discussing it. It's not clear to me what exactly the HTML WG can do to help speed this up in the near term (if the goal is to get it a DTD made and deployed at validator.w3.org as soon as possible). --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/
