Fine for all except WebDatabase.

I notice that its present ED is virtually the same as its FPWD (modulo  
a new section on data sensitivity). There is no movement on any of the  
thorny issues - locking granularity, relational model and SQL dialect.


I am not sure what benefit is to be achieved from republishing  
essentially the same draft as a new WD. It does have the opportunity  
to mislead general public in thinking that progress is being made in  
the spec, when that is not the case.


As Ian says in the IRC log, no one agrees on the WebDatabase spec any  
way so does it help to publish (essentially the same text as) a new WD?

I think it's advantageous to publish the freshest versions we have as  
Working Drafts in advance of the publication moratorium. I don't see  
the advantage to leaving an older copy in the TR/ namespace, even if  
the changes are relatively small.

 I support publication of new Working Drafts for all of these.

Same here. I continue to think that the web database isn't a good
approach, but I don't think that should prevent publishing an updated
draft. We have done a lot of discussion at mozilla on the subject of
what we want a database interface to look like, including with other
interested parties as well as web authors. We should have something
more concrete shortly.

I also continue to miss actual developer demand for server sent
events. Seems like it doesn't add a lot of sugar over simply using
XMLHttpRequest and progress events. But again, I'm fine with
publishing a new WD.

The fact that a spec has open issues is not sufficient to block a WD  
from being published nor is the fact that there is not consensus on  
the entire contents of the document. I think the Process Document is  
clear on these points.


A potential benefit of a new publication in /TR/ is wider review. I  
think this is particularly important before the TPAC meeting given  
about 1/3 of the registrants are not WG members and hence are  
unlikely to follow the changes in the Editor's Drafts.


I think the recent publication of WebSimpleDB API shows this general  
area is still changing. Furthermore, I think a key point in the heads- 
up email that preceded this CfC ([1]) - that Web Database will not be  
ready for Last Call when the other specs are - does acknowledge that  
spec's contents does not have consensus in the WG.
