I am responding to feedback on these specs, just not on the schedule I described earlier this year. (For instance, I just committed a change to Web Storage.) My lack of urgency on getting things to CR stems primarily from my disillusionment with the entire process; Web specs should just be continuously maintained, having snapshots on the TR/ page seems to have only one positive side-effect, and that's the effect on the patent policy. Other than that it just provides a distraction that implementors and authors can end up referencing instead of the more up-to-date and continually maintained draft. The drafts are actively maintained, and feedback is tracked and addressed. It's just not done with the goal of reaching the TR/ page, but rather with the goal of fostering interoperable implementations. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
