place.
I'm fine either way with publishing a WD or not.
My first question would be:
Why did you ignore Apple's proposal to start with a minimal common
interface (which most people seemed to like) and instead wrote a draft
that is the union of all things in Robin's original spec, all things
that Mozilla happened to implement, and a bunch of the things that
Google propose?
I can give specific technical comments on the things that I think are
wrong with this draft, but first I would like to hear why the
minimalist proposal was rejected. I do not believe you ever commented
on it.
