Hi,

Do you know if there is anyone working on fixing RFC2388? People keep 
asking me to update the HTML spec to just define it all inline rather than 
deferring to the RFC since the RFC leaves a lot of stuff underdefined, but 
I don't have the bandwidth to spec all that myself at this point.

e.g.:
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16909
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19879

Other feedback:

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2012May/0003.html

I asked Larry Masinter if he was still maintaining the RFC, but he said he 
wasn't, and suggested I ask here to find out who was maintaining it now.

Thanks in advance,
