Me too. It was my understanding that Dave's work was to be the
'basis for discussion' of a 3.0 spec. When I see mentions of
testbed browsers and signed book agreements with A-W, I have the
sense that I missed something.
I think it's important that HTML 3.0 go through a regular group
discussion period before steps are taken which would turn it into
any kind of standard. Even the wide availability of a testbed
browser makes me a little nervous. I, like Murray, am eager to
see the browser in action, but I am also eager to limit its
exposure until it implements a language that the rest of us are
comfortable with.
