RE: Working Drafts

Justin,

Would it be acceptable to add a note to the preamble of the TCS to explain that we are not actively working on this document at this time?

The publication of the Working Draft is just to show where we are, progress or no.  We are required to do it regularly, more regularly than we have done.  TCS is not at consensus, but it is stable.  I suspect that once ISSUE-239 is resolved, we will publish a snapshot of TPE.

I am puzzled about your suggestion. We have been focusing on the TPE. I don't understand how  the TCS represents any consensus whatsoever.. Whynwould that be a meaningful working draft?

I think the TPE is currently in flux while we consider the proposed changes that Roy has put into the Editors' Draft (eliminating the dependencies between the specifications).  However, the Compliance document (http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-compliance.html) can be published with the updated definitions that we have agreed upon over the past two months.  No one objected to Nick's proposal, so I'll ask him to proceed to update the status of the drafts (see Nick's email for full details).
