I'm sure it will be a productive meeting! Is that an apology statement followed up with a sarcastic one? Do you think that's really going to bring closure to this thread? Do you have a legitimate issue with Google's offer, the way it was offered, was this just a misunderstanding... or... ? Larry, I can sense that the HTML WG is sapping your energy (having been a member of this group since the day it was publicly formed, I can sympathize) as your tone on public-html and telecons has grown increasingly frustrated over since you joined several months ago. For a while I thought I understood the key source of your frustrations (primarily issues where HTML 5 draft doesn't respect other, more authoritative & established specs in their respective spaces.) but now it seems like virtually any topic is cause for an almost formal objection-like email. Knowing your _long_ involvement (and [generally good natured][1]) in the technology standards world, I can't figure out how threads like this one are helping matters.
