As predicted last week [1], I have replied to the outstanding
issues that
had been raised on the following specs, and thus am ready to
suggest that
we take these specs to LC to get wider review:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/
http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/

A six month review period should be reasonable, so I would suggest
giving
a last call "deadline" of something like July 1st 2010.
Would those that have implemented and/or deployed the above specs
please comment on the LC review period length for these specs?
If we already have multiple implementations of a spec, I think the
spirit of the Recommendation track process suggests a shorter LC
period (say 2 months given the time of the year) and then (assuming
no substantive comments) moving the spec to Candidate.
The WebKit project has implementations all the cited specs. However,
many of them are still in progress and not 100% feature complete. Some
have not shipped in a non-beta product yet. Overall we are still at
the point where we are discovering new issues in the course of
implementation. I estimate that within 4-6 months we will have feature-
complete versions of all the specs implemented and in most cases
shipping in at least one of Safari or Chrome.
