Jon Bosak explained the process whereby the W3C works *in general*. He made it clear that the W3C was set up with a charter that gave the director the ultimate role in deciding the outcome of activities. In practice the behaviour of individual WGs is also moderated by the people on them. Some WGs are more outward-looking than others. In practice many scan the various non-W3C lists that relate to their subject, but will not normally respond. Several people have mentioned that they do/do_not get a response when they post to the WG editors. I expect that most of these editors are now aware of the motivation/demotivation that this generates. I have no idea whether editors are over- or underwhelmed with public submissions, but at least you are formally encouraged to post to them. In the present case there is probably no real point in discussing the details of SVG *on XML-DEV*. WGs will not normally take notice, unless there is so much clamour in the commons that it seems politic. There may be a point in discussing some issues that are generic or cross more than one spec. So if a number of W3C specs had attribute values or content that require microparsing it could be useful to raise it here. It is unlikely that there would be a direct response.
