Hi Nikunj,

Oracle does not support the substance of the current Web Storage draft

does not see it fit to advance the current draft along the
recommendation track
Still, we believe that the working group will benefit greatly from the
wide review of this draft. Has the chair exhausted all such
alternatives such as Working Group Note? At the very least the status
needs to be clear about the purpose of publishing the document. A
boilerplate status is not appropriate since there are important
concerns about the technique used for structured storage in the draft.
I agree it would be good to get broad review of the proposed FPWD and
the formal publication will trigger a related note on both w3.org and
the weekly Public newsletter.
Please note there is certainly a precedence for a WG to not have
unanimous agreement regarding the entire "substance" of a FPWD.
Regarding a WG Note, that doesn't seem appropriate in this case since
the WG's plan of record (Charter) is to create a Recommendation for
this spec.

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to publish the First Public

As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and
encouraged and silence will be assumed to be assent. The deadline

Subject: Request for FPWD publication of Server-Sent Events, Web
Sockets API, Web Storage, and Web Workers
Archived-At: <http://www.w3.org/mid/Pine.LNX.
[email protected]
The following drafts are relatively stable and would benefit
greatly from
wider review:
Server-Sent Events
http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/
The Web Sockets API
http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/
Web Storage
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/
Web Workers
http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/
Assuming there is consensus in the working group to do so, could we
publish these as First Public Working Drafts?
Cheers,
