Hmm, I sure thought some DTD proposals had been made; enough folk have talked about "old DTD proposals". I could make one on fairly short notice, if need be. > We could hold up L2 for as > long as it takes to bang out that design, or we can let L2 continue and then > release L3 as quickly as we can manage it.

I don't see a rush for getting L2 out; I'd rather see it out with the features it needs. And I'd far rather see a decent job be done on DTDs in the next month or two, and cause a slight delay in L2 DOM (and time pressure to keep it slight!), than to see most of a year pass before L3 happens. L3 is sure to have all kinds of other stuff going on. - Dave
