Just to be clear, that is not my recollection at all. I'm still puzzled where this interpretation of the consensus came in. I was present in both respective meetings and don't remember this ever being said. Nor does anybody else I asked so far. It's not in the notes either. OTOH, I know that several participants have been under the assumption that the consensus was to include all of AP2 in ES6. That includes Mark, btw. Sorry to dwell on this, but this misunderstanding is what I find particularly irritating. /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
