A common set of /bugs/ with which new standards/browsers should be
compliant? Did I understand you correctly?
Regardless, I have two follow-up questions:
- If we are going to make the HTML 5 specification compliant with
what browsers support and/or DO today, instead of changing UAs to
/follow/ the spec, then how does this process differ from what
happened with HTML 3.2?
- Is this the official policy of the W3C? The answer "Join, and see"
will not be very useful, sorry.
