content, leaving today's content to rot. If that's what you want,
you're welcome to join the XHTML2 WG. But in this group, we have real
work to do.
Your replies come across very antagonistic, and I think they will only
result in less cooperation, not more. Maybe you might want to consider
less inflammatory wording?
I needed to express the seriousness of the situation. Unfortunately,
Microsoft's monopoly, and the fact that he is a co-chair of this WG,
puts Chris Wilson and IE in a very dangerous and influential position
that could, if he gets his way, seriously undermine the work of the
HTMLWG, the WHATWG and the web standards community at large.
I do not intend to be overly antagonistic, but Chris Wilson and the IE
team need to comprehend the situation, and understand that nothing good
can come from their failure to co-operate reasonably.
