Hi, with an especial hi to the Chairs,
This is just a meta-issue, and therefore entirely inappropriate for
debate on list. I am posting this for the record, but I expect (and
plead for) no follow-ups on list.
Some of us work in an environment where Flash is no longer acceptable
or permitted. As near as I can tell, Adobe Connect requires Flash at
least on Linux. I'm not asking the WG to do anything about this (or
even say anything about it), but I do wish to register my concern that
decisions about how the top-most layer of the DNS will work are being
made in such a way that those who can't use Adobe's software[1] are
necessarily excluded. It seems like a problem. I'll work around it,
but it isn't something that should have to be worked around. HTML5 is
long since here.
I do wish to emphasise that I think any follow-up on list would be
off-charter (except in case any admin wanted to ack the post and
reaffirm that further discussion is off-charter!).
Best regards,
A
[1] software which is utterly contrary to everything the Web is
designed to do, in the bargain.
