Paul: thank you for doublechecking with us. On our call today, we reviewed the "state of play" on your ISSUE-41. As we understand it, the specific purpose of your note was to alert the community that change proposals that lacked an advocate would be dropped, likely as of tomorrow. During our discussion, those on the TAG who have followed the details pointed out that: 1) Your change proposals 1, 2, and 4 all originate from the same author (Rob Ennals), who believes now that 4 is a better solution than 1 or 2. 2) Proposals 3, 4, and 5 all do have advocates. That being the case, the TAG has asked me to express to you our satisfaction with what we presume to be your plan, I.e. to retain as active for discussion change proposals 3, 4 and 5. The TAG remains very interested in the extensibility architecture for HTML 5, and we may comment further in the future as appropriate. Thank you very much.
