Note that "next item" is the wrong command to call each next agendum item as it does not reflect the item in the minutes. My apologies.

   <Billy_Gregory> Zakin, [IPcaller] is me

   PC: Sam and I have been getting feedback on whether WG needs to
   continue using Decision Policy
   ... Chairs announced at F2F is that new work mode being put
   into place immediately.
   ... Big change, no CfC for heartbeats, just stay on top of
   consensus and keep publishing.
   ... Will stop pushing CfCs through WG, but will still use for
   FD, LC, etc. as defined by process doc.
   ... Spent time checking status of normative docs (DOM4, HTML5,
   Canvas) and checking testing results.
   ... Just sent email to Public-HTML outlining changes for what
   is at risk for HTML 5.0..
   ... Hope to publish update in next few weeks outlining what has
   been removed.
   ... Chairs will try to send HTML5 to LC in June to keep on
   track to deliver Rec by 4th quarter 2014.
   ... Talked about HTML5.1 for a while, sentiment to speed up the
   schedule for 5.1.
   ... Maybe 5.1 could take 18 months instead of 2 years.
   ... PF schedule for ARIA 1.1 might be aligned with HTML 5.1
   schedule.
   ... Decided to mark Ruby as at-risk for LC due to interop
   evidence, don't want to hold up 5.0.

   CS: Mentioned in meeting that a11y TF and PF would be
   interested in timeline changes.

   PC: Ad hoc 30min discussion about contentEditable. No quick
   summary, web apps / HTML overlaps.
   ... A11y folks may have interest. Was added to agenda last
   minute. Check the F2F minutes for a note.

   CS: Initial discussion around more API-based approach to
   editing.
   ... Keyboard shortcuts available in some browsers, not others,
   etc.

   <paulc> HTML WG F2F minutes on content editable:
   [7]http://www.w3.org/2014/04/09-html-wg-minutes.html#item11

      [7] http://www.w3.org/2014/04/09-html-wg-minutes.html#item11

   CS: API-based minimizes those issues.
   ... Also suggested in addition to shortcuts, consistent/common
   visual controls.
   ... General consensus was more API based.

   JS: Was there a sense that would happen in 5.1 timeframe?

   CS: I didn't hear a timeline.

   PC: Web Apps meeting today and tomorrow, API meeting probably
   happening in Web Apps. Watch over next 48 hours.

   CM: Technically similar to issue with date inputs. Different
   controls, expectations. Complex issues - but WebApps tends not
   to set time schedules for releases.

   <paulc> If the HTML WG does HTML 5.1 before 2016 then this
   might impact any plans of the TF or PF WG to align with the
   HTML 5.1 schedule.

   JS: Highlights: no longer CfCs in HTML for heartbeat
   publications,
   ... HTML 5.1 might move down rec track faster than in plan
   2014,
   ... implications for ARIA are an open question as its timeline
   maybe cannot catch up.

   PC: If TF or PF plan was for a 2016 publish date, may want to
   stay with that plan.
   ... That means you might end up being aligned with HTML 5.2
   instead of 5.1.

   JS: Steve F is prime mover, need his input.

   PC: Let's take it offline for now and update Steve F on work
   plan.

   JS: Second heartbeat, HTML Mappings, we discussed in ARIA
   editors call yesterday.
   ... We'll see state of document when heartbeat date is set.

   next item

   JS: We may have had a decision on last week's call to move
   forward, some feedback on list.

   PC: At F2F, only discussion was Mark's update. He is on board
   with Candidate LC Draft.
   ... Mark reported that editors are still trying to confirm
   everything in document is correct.

   next item

   JS: I believe everything we expected to port from 5.1 is now in
   5.0.
   ... Bug we were awaiting from WAI has been filed, referenced in
   agenda.

   PC: This is one of the 10 documents HTML WG needs to push
   forward. Will copy Janina and Chaals as it moves forward.
