Why can't there be a 'proposal tracker' implemented that is open to
anyone in the working group to add proposals to, via a form perhaps
that asks for certain information about the proposal, so it can then
be evaluated and debated by WG members?
It might not actually be difficult at all, and I think we already
have what may be an appropriate place/tool for it -- The W3C
public bugzilla:
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/

One particular advantage of the bugzilla setup is that it would
allow people (even those that are not HTML WG members or members
of other W3C WGs) to opt-in to particular issues -- and get mail
only about those issues (and not need to try to follow or filter
public-html if they don't want to).
Yes, exactly - this is a great idea Mike. It'll help immensely with
people who are dealing with the HTML WG largely through sources like
public-html-comments, blogs, etc.
There might be a use for this, but I think it further splinters the
work of the WG. Most of the issues I raised would belong in the main
issue-tracker anyway, so it wouldn't do anything to resolve our
current dispute over these issues. What's needed for that is actual
substantive discussion of those issues.
Take care,
Rob
