  The actual feedback given by Microsoft: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0389.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Aug/0389... Best part, the first piece of feedback was "It's not clear why these new elements in particular are necessary." KISS, M$. Well done.

  It's amazing how many reprints this blog-item is getting, considering that the original source material was only a single ambiguous sentence: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Sep/0049.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Sep/0049...

  To me, the most striking thing about this is that the HTML 5 spec is that 'no man or woman has given substantial feedback before' (to paraphrase). HTML is critically important to the infrastructure of the web and you'd expect an army of people publishing reasoned critical feedback.

    Er, that's no man or woman from Microsoft, no?
    • masklinn 17y ago
      Yes.

      http://blog.whatwg.org/this-week-in-html5-episode-35 http://blog.whatwg.org/this-week-in-html5-episode-35 states: "Adrian Bateman did what no man or woman had ever done before: he gave substantive feedback on the current editor's draft of HTML5 on behalf of Microsoft." OK, so apparently I misread that. Does that justify a -1 down mod?
