The minutes say this:

<DanC> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/19
DanC: had conversation with PTaylor about formal objection - action done
... completed action to email negative and non-responders - done
Chairs have said the question does not carry -- WG will keep working  
on spec
<DanC> DanC found out non-responders are not ok to publish

I'd like to ask for some clarifications.

1) Which non-responders are not ok to publish? What are their specific  
objections and how can they be addressed?

2) Does this decision apply to the diffs document as well (which was a  
separate question in the survey)?


Also, I'd appreciate it if the chairs could clearly state the decision  
and the reasoning behind it on public-html for discussion, since not  
everyone may have spotted it in the minutes.

Regards,
Maciej
