Related notes:
At the Galway F2fF10, the WG resolved to remove this issue from the critical path for BLD.
Christopher Welty, 28 May 2008, 12:10:34At F2F13 at MIT, the WG resolved not to have an extensibility mechanism (e.g. for fallbacks), and further not to specify fallbacks between PRD or BLD and Core. We will, however, provide some informative text in documents describing ways in which certain dialect-specific syntax could be rewritten into Core.
See http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/meeting/2009-04-15#resolution_9
Addition note: the main reason for this decision was lack of time to finish and vet this properly.
