<ol> <li>When people say that the publication of HTML5 "blocked" by Larry Masinter's "formal objection", what exactly do they mean? </li> <li>Why does the private w3c-archive mailing list exist? Why can't anyone reveal what happens on there? What are the consequences for doing so? Who gets to be on that list in the first place? </li> <li>Can anyone raise a "formal objection"?</li> <li>Is anyone calling for the HTML Working Group to be "rechartered"? If so, what does that involve?</li> <li>If there are concerns about the inclusion of Canvas 2D in the specification, why were these not resolved earlier?</li> </ol> <p>Some <a href="http://simonwillison.net/tags/html5%2Badobe/">background reading</a>. I was planning to fill in answers as they arrive, but I screwed up the moderation of the comments and got flooded with detailed responses - I strongly recommend <a href="http://simonwillison.net/2010/Feb/16/html5/#comments">reading the comments</a>.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/adobe">adobe</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/html5">html5</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/larry-masinter">larry-masinter</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/w3c">w3c</a></p>

Neither Adobe nor I oppose, are fighting, are trying to stop, slow down, hinder, oppose, or harm HTML5, Canvas 2D Graphics, Microdata, video in HTML, or any of the other significant features in HTML5.
