At TPAC, the TAG and HTML WG met jointly and discussed several topics. One of them was the notion of a normative language reference. My take- away from that session was that we had rough consensus on the following: - The author-only view of the main document, plus the fact that it was actively maintained and reviewed by itself for quality, was sufficient to largely satisfy the requirements for a normative language reference. - There was no need to try to publish Mike's HTML: The Markup Langauge draft as an additional normative spec, but it could be useful as a non- normative reference guide to only the markup syntax of HTML5. Based on this, we have issued a Call for Consensus to close the related HTML Working Group issues without prejudice: ISSUE-59 - normative-language-reference - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Dec/0249.html ISSUE-67 - h:tml-parsing-dom - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Dec/0248.html Note: closing without prejudice simply means further changes in this area will not be treated as Last Call blockers by the HTML WG. A member of the TAG asked for the TAG to be notified and given a chance to respond[1]. Therefore we are sending this notification and will extend the call for consensus until January 7th, to give the TAG a meaningful opportunity to review the issues and reply.
