I originally would have agreed, however when making the Web Forms 2 spec one important piece of feedback I got, and something that I found quite annoying myself, was that structuring the spec as a "diff" to another spec is way more complicated than it should be. Hence in Web Apps 1 I took the alternative (but effectively equivalent) option of just making it the new version of the spec, instead of a "diff". > I know I've said this before but shouldn't this be a separate document? > Wasn't that the plan for the other bits and pieces of HTML5 anyway? Having HTML5 Core + Web Forms 2 + Web Apps 1 was the original idea, but based on my experience doing the WF2 part, I think it would be better to just merge the three into one coherent self-contained spec. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
