Hi guys,
I've been thinking about the WebDatabase specification [1] and I've
come to two conclusions. (1) We are miles away from consensus on
this specification, and, hence, we should _not_ consider putting it
out for last call. (2) While good work has gone into the IDL/
JavaScript Call Level Interface (CLI), we have made no progress on
its SQL language specification and are not likely to in the future.
Thus we should publish the CLI as a WG Note titled "WebSQLDatabase
CLI" and curtail active work on this specification in the working
group. This is Oracle's official position on this matter.
I disagree. Publishing a WG Note would be appropriate if we had WG
consensus to stop work. I don't think we have consensus to do that. I
also don't think we have consensus to proceed to the next step (Last
Call). The right maturity level to represent this condition would be
Working Draft.
