Since David joined Facebook less than a year ago, I'm not going to subscribe to your conspiracy theory. Hmm, unless Facebook have somehow harnessed the awesome power of 1/2 billion people procrastinating, and channeled it through a time machine back to 2008 somehow to disrupt the evolution of open standards. Meanwhile, how about making practical rather than personal remarks? There's no point in updating specs for their own sake; let's only do it when we've got solid ideas for improving them. Rather than jumping into acronym soup, where are the requirements documents for whatever-comes-next? What's it supposed to do? How does it appear to users? If those drafts exist, comment on them here and leave the conspiracy theory for your blog. If they don't exist, make some proposals...
