Hixie: you there?

i'd have a question, regarding the procedure on working on HTML 5. can proposals and reviews be made, in any order? obviously, dave hyatt and hixie do not work simultaneously on all the aspects of the spec. thus, i'd like to know if it's not a problem to send proposal/reviews for things that are not currently discussed on the mailing list. i suppose the editors "store" the emails in a (huge) "TODO folder", such that when they get to the sections of the spec,
11:27
<ROBOd>
they also review all/most of the emails sent on the matter at hand. is that correct?

Hixie: btw, I think Karl is right when he calls two-tiered conformance levels "a form of versioning is coming back by the backdoor".
11:31
<hsivonen>
Hixie: I'd prefer to have one-tiered conformance with the one notion of conformance permissive enough to allow what authors want to do (including style='').
11:33
<ROBOd>
karl nailed that very well, conformance levels are a form of versioning . i think it's wrong to have different conformance levels

<gsnedders>
ROBOd: emails are sent about any and every section of the spec. there's no reason not to.

gsnedders: since i reviewed the "media element" section ... i'm again "into the video element", and i am a bit concerned i might "ressurect" hot debates about the video element (like when it was proposed)
11:48
<gsnedders>
ROBOd: you just have to accept that such a debate may come up, and that any constructive comments made will be taken into account
11:49
<ROBOd>
yeah, but still generally i do not want to cause/contribute hot debates ;)
11:49
<gsnedders>
they'll be caused whenever you mention such things :P
11:49
<ROBOd>
if you noticed or not, i seldom reply to other threads than mine
11:50
<gsnedders>
I just stay out of hot debates
11:50
<gsnedders>
:)
11:51
<ROBOd>
me too. but, but but ... what if *you want* to say something "hotly debateable"? :)
11:52
<gsnedders>
then just say it.
11:52
<gsnedders>
:P

<ROBOd>
i shall see
