I will be away for the next three weeks, mostly without internet access. (In fact, mostly without even running water.)
Hopefully by the time I get back XBL2 and CSS2.1 will have been published as Last Call and Candidate Recommendation drafts respectively.
I've unsubscribed from a bunch of mailing lists and disabled mail from a bunch of bug systems, so if there's anything you want me to see, forward it to me. I doubt I'll look at anything but mail sent directly to me and a few key lists (like the WHATWG list) when I get back.
What started almost three years ago as a proof of concept, showing that it was possible to extend HTML4, has now reached the level of W3C Working Draft.
I wasn't actually pushing for this spec to get published by the W3C (recentevents are symptomatic of why), but it got published anyway. I'll take that as a compliment.
The best part of all this, though, is that I managed to get the word "frankensteinesque" onto the /TR/ page!
Incidentally, I don't think I mentioned this, but XBL2 also made it to the W3C recently (in June, in fact). I've readied the draft for a last call, so hopefully that will happen in the coming weeks. (I added like a bazillion examples. I sure hope you all like them.)
At 4:30am this morning, one of my computers beeped really loudly, waking me. I ignored it and tried to go back to sleep. It beeped again. I muted both of them. The beep happened again. A bird or insect or something had entered my room and was squawking for a mate. It was hidden behind my computer. No, behind the lamp. No. Insects don't beep exactly every 33 seconds. The smoke detector low battery alarm was going off. At 4:30am. ☀âœâ–â—‬✺▣◆!‬
