Björn's message, and not only björn's, are part of a discussion on a long time which led at a point to this message Reinventing HTML. http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/166 http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/10/reinventing_html_discuss http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/12/reinventing_html_update And finally, W3C Launches New HTML Working Group http://www.w3.org/QA/2007/03/new-html-working-wg.html > Neither sentence touched on the point of procedural problems with WGs. I do not have a binary answer (unfortunately for me). When I was a Team member, there are days I wished everything was on public record, because of double talk of some people. Sometimes, the opposite, because of people jumping to conclusions and giving into conspiracy theory. This one is strange to me. When you say everything you know honestly in public, people still go on saying that you are hiding things. Depending on which mood you are waking up with, it can be difficult to handle ;) Honestly speaking, W3C is really a wonderful organization with a lot of dedicated people (with not too much resources in their hands time and money). It can certainly be improved but like everything else. :) -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada http://twitter.com/karlpro
