This seems like a terrible idea to me. The WebApps WG is very functional and has had both a good discussion culture and a good track record of creating functionality which has been adopted by browsers. The HTML WG has been extremely dysfunctional. Both with a mailing list which has attracted lots of noise and little useful discussion, and has not managed to produce a lot of work which has affected what browsers implement (most of the "HTML5" stuff browsers implemented was based off of Hixie's work in WHATWG). Merging the two seems like a a very bad idea. It seems very likely that it will disrupt the work happening in WebApps right now. I'm very much for trying to find better ways for the work currently happening in the HTML WG. But lets do that without changing the WebApps WG for now. I would personally prefer to put forward a formal objection to having a merged group at this time. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
