Hi all, In an ideal world, Anne would be the editor of the W3C version of the spec and that would be the end of it. Such is not the case. Anne is not the editor of the W3C version: he doesn't edit and/or publish anything related to the W3C XHR spec. Current editors do and while it's mostly

 I would think that listing Anne as Editor or Former Editor and listing Anne in an Acknowledgments paragraph should be entirely consistent with all existing W3C practice. But it's not consistent with that existing W3C practice to get all the text for a spec from a document edited outside the

Is Anne the *sole* author? Did the WG or others not contribute any text or suggested text to the spec? It seems like a bit of a slippery slope to attempt to designate a sole author for any W3C product. You might want to check with the pubs team on this matter. On Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 11:44 AM,
