The HTML WG has historically has contained so much noise that next to all productive contributors has left the group, leading to the being unable to create almost any useful contributions to HTML5. This has been such a big problem that the WGs future existence has been called into question. The WebApps WG is working very well and produce a large number of highly successful and widely adopted specifications that has been very good for the web. The proposal here is to merge these two groups. I see no reason to believe that the noise that exists in the HTML WG would not have the same effect in this new WG. I.e. the WebApps WG might become as unproductive as the HTML WG has been. That would be terrible for the web. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
