Hi Trevor,

<hat="wg chair">

I had no intention to ignore issues being raised. I was rather under the
impression they had been addressed via the issue tracker and in the new
version of the draft. One purpose of the WGLC is in fact to verify that
all issues have been resolved and weed out any remaining problems.

We have no intention of "forcing through" a document.
And I fully recognise the fact that new revisions of the draft have
regrettably been coming rather slow and that this can have contributed
to low volume on the mailing-list, waiting for the revised text.

Maybe to approach every issue in a structured approach in order to avoid
missing any open issues:
In my understanding all topics you and others posted have been mapped to
issues in the tracker. Are we missing something there? If so or if you
see new issues, please re-raise them on the mailing-list and please feel
free to post issues in the tracker. We use the tracker to track open
issues and to close them when they have been discussed. When you
disagree with the closing of an issue it is good to raise your
objections when that happens to make sure the WG understands your
opinion and concerns and can discuss the problem accordingly.

All the best, Tobias

(co-chair of websec)
