Please do not abuse the inbox of the director with misinformed 'appeals' about W3C specifications. Mr. Salsman's complaint regards the quality of implementations, not the quality of W3C specifications: James Salsman wrote: > > [...] Nor > is there any acknowledgement that basic microphone upload is > only implemented on wintel-platform browsers, with inherently > insecure binary plug-ins.

I expect that such a reply will have no such effect. It will much more likely just waste a lot of W3C staff time. If you have substantive technical arguments about W3C specifications, you're invited to make them in the www-html forum. But advocacy about implementations is not welcome. > Please don't change the subject line; the > reply-to header on this message should send your reply to Tim Berners-Lee, > the W3C Director, who has final say in all W3C process appeals. I do not see any W3C process to which an appeal would be relevant. > http://www.w3.org/Submission/1999/09/Comment > http://www.w3.org/TR/device-upload -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
