Ok. Then I propose that we leave it at WD for now, since I do not intend to write a definition of the SQL dialect unless someone intends to implement this without using Sqlite. If anyone ever does want to implement Web SQL Database without Sqlite, please let me know and I'll spec out the SQL dialect. > > In the meantime, could we publish this draft as a regular WD, so that > > the /TR/ version is in sync with the latest draft? > > Yes.

What's the deadline by which we have to have submitted a request? If there's time, I'd like to address Adrian's feedback on the Web Sockets API and then either publish it as LC (if Adrian agrees) or at least WD. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
