Description Julian Reschke 2010-09-24 11:56:29 UTC 
<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#acknowledgements>:

"Thanks to the participants of the microdata usability study for allowing us to use their mistakes as a guide for designing the microdata feature."

As the HTML5 spec does not define Microdata, putting acks for the study in here is a bit strange.

EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The TR/microdata document points to the HTML spec for acknowledgements. Given how the specs are managed, I would like to keep things that way. Otherwise, the acknowledgements will be inaccurate, since I don't know who has only contributed to one or another of the specs.
Comment 2 Julian Reschke 2010-09-28 06:55:05 UTC 
In this case, this seems to be easy to resolve. Keep the reference, but move that paragraph over to the other document.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: That would just be a huge pain in the neck on my end. Please find something more important to worry about.
