I disagree that it's good use of the HTML list's time. But it's the chair's decision and not mine. I also don't think that a lot of technical discussions are happening in the bugs. As far as I can tell the discussions have moved to the WHATWG list and private threads as they provide a more productive climate. I think this is very unfortunate. / Jonas
