I'd personally prefer to shut down the entire Activity. None of these groups will help "lead the web to its full potential" (if that's still the W3C's motto). They are completely out of touch with what's happened on the Web is the last decade, exemplified by the following quote from the XML Core proposed charter: > The Working Group has current plans to: > > 1. Publish a sixth edition of XML 1.0 as an Edited Recommendation, > to include the changes for the LEIRI specification, at such time > as IRI-bis is final. This entire Activity is a distraction from the real needs of the web, and if the W3C is serious about its motto, it should focus on those rather than providing support and hosting conferences for people's petty side projects that have no bearing on the web. However, I'll already be happy if we can kill the XForms zombie. Apparently they've had a group in plh's Domain for years, and never produced anything of consequence, and now that he's finally managed to kick them out, they want to return through this back door. If the handful of people who still care about it want to continue wasting each other's time, they can always start a Community Group, or move to another standards development organization.
