It's not about being polite, patient, and waiting for the change to
occur, it was deliberately ignored for political reasons, they had said
they wouldn't change it. Can I suggest that you get the facts before you
jump in and judge me.
The HTML WG has had to put up with all sorts of bogus complaints and
objections from that group. We have even had to mark out the areas on
the spec that they object to (which is really silly as these objections
are unfounded). Then when I make a legitimate complaint about their work
all I get is political push back and stone walling. It's a pity that I
am the only one (AFAIK) in the HTML WG that is trying to fix/attend-to
these problems that other working groups are causing for HTML5. We have
about 380 people in the HTML WG and several W3C staff working on HTML5,
but it appears that I'm the only one that's got the guts to stand up and
ask the difficult questions, make the awkward objections, and deal with
the W3C politics that keep being put in front of HTML5's path. I was the
only one (except DanC) that objected to the "RDFa in XHTML1" spec that
clashed with HTML5, and even then that group ignored my complaint and
refused to change their spec. Someone from the HTML WG should have
contacted the XHTML2 WG about this "mime type document" conflict months
ago but it seems everyone's too afraid to deal with all the politics
involved. Why hadn't you objected to this document or pointed out the
contradiction? It shouldn't be left for me to deal with.
In the future; if you have a problem with some thing I have said or
done, can you please let me know through email (and cc the archive if
you wish) as I'm not on irc 24/7 to refute your comments towards me.
Thanks
