Alex, work on Editing APIs was ongoing in the Community Group

My recall is a bit rusty on that one, but I think that the situation was
that:
• WebApps is not chartered to publish this, so a CG was created.
• But having the discussion on the CG list seemed like a bad idea since
everyone is here, so the mailing list for discussion was decided to be
public-webapps.
I actually pinged Aryeh about this a week or two ago, but I haven't
heard back. I'd be happy to take over as editor for this spec, it's a
feature I've wanted to have work right forever.
FWIW, Aryeh is currently studying full time and doesn't follow web
standards discussions regularly.
In order to make that happen (assuming that Aryeh agrees, or doesn't
speak up), I propose the following:
• Since I'm financed to work on HTML, transition this to an HTML
extension spec (this probably only requires a few changes to the header).
• The discussion can stay here (wherever people prefer that I'm already
subscribed to — I really don't care).
• The spec gets published through the HTML WG, since I believe it's
actually viably in scope there already.
All of the above assumes you're all happy with it, and the HTML people
too. I reckon it could work though.
Of course, I object to publishing this freely licensed specification in
a working group that will insist on imposing a more restrictive
copyright on it.
