The best bet is that WHATWG draft will be shaped into the next iteration of HTML even from the W3C point of view. > And if that is true, then this (W3C) list is surely the right place > for that debate to take place, Actually, it isn't at all clear if this list is the right place for anything in particular anymore. As late as February, this list was the public feedback list for the XHTML 2.0 WG when the main list of the XHTML 2.0 WG was secret. It isn't clear how the work of the XHTML 2.0 WG moving to a publicly visible list changes this. For HTML5, assuming that the new HTML WG accepts the WHATWG draft as the starting point, the public list for those who have jumped through the patent policy hoops will be public-html. For those who haven't jumped through the patent policy hoops, the WHATWG list is already established instead of this one. After all, the new HTML WG had existed for about a month, IIRC, until it occurred to anyone to announce it here. It was announced immediately upon decloaking on the WHATWG list. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
