What is currently in the HTML 5 draft has not yet been found to enjoy
consensus. I encourage people to work with the editor to get changes
that they feel necessary made to this draft.
To date, Ian's approach has been far from that of an impartial editor
with whom such differences can be worked out. Manu tried, really hard,
for a long time, at which point Ian dreamed up microdata. Let's stop
pretending that this is a viable path.
Fair enough.
As an alternative, I encourage people to produce drafts, possibly including as
much or as
little of the current draft and submit them for consideration.
Maybe that's a more viable option. Is this how the HTML WG intends to
receive contributions from other w3c groups, by forking the spec?
With only one quibble that is of no consequence, the answer is yes.

The quibble: I believe that in order to produce a draft with the intent
of being considered a product of the HTML Working Group, one must be a
member of that group. Fortunately, we the Working Group has a policy of
being open to all that wish to contribute, so effectively this is not a
barrier at all.
