You can find exactly the same paragraph in the first Working Draft of XFrames [1]: [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-xframes-20020806/#status > Is this a > trial balloon, or something that the WG is pretty well agreed on?

The HTML WG did review this document at their face-to-face meeting last week and did agree to publish it as a Working Group product, as the TAG requested us to publish it as soon as possible. But that doesn't mean everyone in the Working Group agrees on everything in this document. If that's the case, we'd go straight to Last Call. This is just the first Working Draft. The HTML WG is chartered to "[d]evelop solutions for linking in the XHTML Family" [2], but we intentionally didn't say "Proposed Recommendation for HLink" so that we don't bind ourselves to one possible solution. We are open to discussion.
