Post-HTML5 versions should be the staging ground for new features. Therefore, we should allow counter-proposals to use "too late to add features" as a technical argument against a proposal that suggests adding features. This is not necessarily dispositive in itself, but would weigh against the relative harm of adding a requested feature in a future version. 66544 1 1111 mjs 2012-04-10 03:48:05 +0000 Created attachment 1111 Diff implementing a "too late for new features" option for counter-proposals 66567 2 rubys 2012-04-10 15:56:20 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Created attachment 1111 [details] > Diff implementing a "too late for new features" option for counter-proposals I support this change, and note that it is merely codifying something that already is occurring: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ISSUE-194/NoChange http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/User:Eoconnor/ISSUE-195 1111 2012-04-10 03:48:05 +0000 2012-04-10 03:48:05 +0000 Diff implementing a "too late for new features" option for counter-proposals too-late-for-features.patch.txt text/plain 1031 mjs PyBmZWF0dXJlLWZyZWV6ZS5wYXRjaC50eHQKPyB0b28tbGF0ZS1mb3ItZmVhdHVyZXMucGF0Y2gu dHh0CkluZGV4OiBkZWNpc2lvbi1wb2xpY3ktdjIuaHRtbAo9PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09 PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09ClJDUyBmaWxlOiAv c291cmNlcy9wdWJsaWMvaHRtbDUvZGVjaXNpb24tcG9saWN5L2RlY2lzaW9uLXBvbGljeS12Mi5o dG1sLHYKcmV0cmlldmluZyByZXZpc2lvbiAxLjM4CmRpZmYgLXUgLXIxLjM4IGRlY2lzaW9uLXBv bGljeS12Mi5odG1sCi0tLSBkZWNpc2lvbi1wb2xpY3ktdjIuaHRtbAkyIEF1ZyAyMDExIDA3OjA1 OjU1IC0wMDAwCTEuMzgKKysrIGRlY2lzaW9uLXBvbGljeS12Mi5odG1sCTEwIEFwciAyMDEyIDAz OjQ2OjM5IC0wMDAwCkBAIC00MjIsNyArNDIyLDEwIEBACiAgIDxsaT5TdW1tYXJ5OiBEZXNjcmli ZXMgdGhlIGNoYW5nZSBpbiBhYm91dCAxLTUgcGFyYWdyYXBocyBvZiBwbGFpbiBsYW5ndWFnZS48 L2xpPgogICA8bGk+UmF0aW9uYWxlOiBEZXNjcmliZXMgdGhlIHJlYXNvbiBmb3IgdGhlIGNoYW5n ZS4gV2hhdCBwcm9ibGVtcwogICBkb2VzIHRoZSBwcm9wb3NhbCBhZGRyZXNzLCBhbmQgaG93IGRv ZXMgdGhlIHByb3Bvc2FsIG1ha2VzIHRoaW5ncwotICBiZXR0ZXI/PC9saT4KKyAgYmV0dGVyPyBU aGUgcmF0aW9uYWxlIHNob3VsZCBwcmVzZW50IHRlY2huaWNhbCBhcmd1bWVudHMuIFN0YXJ0aW5n CisgIHdpdGggTGFzdCBDYWxsLCBDaGFuZ2UgUHJvcG9zYWxzIHRoYXQgYXJndWUgYWdhaW5zdCBh ZGRpbmcgYSBmZWF0dXJlCisgIG1heSBjaXRlICJ0b28gbGF0ZSB0byBhZGQgZmVhdHVyZXMiIGFz IGEgdGVjaG5pY2FsIGFyZ3VtZW50LCB0aG91Z2gKKyAgc3VjaCBhbiBhcmd1bWVudCBpcyBub3Qg bmVjZXNzYXJpbHkgZGVjaXNpdmUgaW4gaXRzZWxmLjwvbGk+CiAKICAgPGxpPlByb3Bvc2FsIERl dGFpbHM6IFRoaXMgbWF5IHRha2Ugb25lIG9mIHRoZSBmb2xsb3dpbmcgZm91ciBmb3JtczoKICAg PHVsPgo=
