Larry Masinter on public-html (26-05-2009)
The document is currently over 930 pages when printed "letter" size. The first complaint I get from implementors wanting to review the specification is that it is unreviewable: too long, to complex, too difficult to review individual sections, too difficult to find the definition of terms, or where things are used.

jd/adobe: Building upon untested assumptions
John Dowdell en raccourci : Flash a placé la barre tellement haut que forcément ça fait des jaloux. Et ce Ian Hickson, ça serait-y pas un peu l'Antéchrist ?
Plus intéressante est la réaction d'Isofarro (#3), qui ressitue le contexte et l'origine du what-wg.

What would you say if I told you that there was a nation that was at the forefront of technology, an early adopter of ecommerce, leading the world in 3G mobile adoption, in wireless broadband, in wired broadband adoption, as well as in citizen-driven media. Sounds like an amazing place, right? Technology utopia?

html 5 for authors!
The current spec is to nerdy written to be understandable by most authors. If the WAHTWG does really care about HTML 5 either the spec needs to be changed (i believe its possible, but don’t now if its a good idea regarding overhead) or they need to create 2 documents, one for authors, one for implementers.
