Um, as someone who is not deep into the workings of the HTML 5 working group, it's not entirely clear to me what the significance is of getting a message from bugzilla saying a bug is closed, and then being alerged that it's being "tracked in tracker", but I'm willing to assume informally that it's some sort of good sign that our concerns are still being considered. If there are things I need to know about the WG's simultaneous use of those two tracking systems, and the significance of having a "bug that is now tracked in Tracker" marked closed in Bugzilla, I suppose it would be worth me taking the time to learn. I do understand that HTML 5 is a very complex undertaking, and there may be good reasons that some of the tracking systems are less than transparent from the outside. Thank you.

Best regards, Julian (note that I agree with the request to remove Microdata, just trying the explain what's going on)
