I can assure you it will be appreciated Hi Steve, Thank you for the chat today. Per your suggestions, I will work on ways to get out the value proposition increasingly in developer forums. I also want to chat with the HTML WG Team contact and chairs about useful materials for developers. I won't have a statement today, please allow a bit of time so that I can continue to have discussions and draft some useful materials.
