<div>Hi all, </div>
<div>in february Josh, raised an issue in the issue tracker [1] (via jgraham) about the dropping of the summary attribute, . He was preparing to discuss it at the teleconference a few weeks ago, but ran out of time (there has not been a teleconference since , so no chance for further discussion). We have discussed it privately since and thought it may be best to get PF WG to review the issue. Now the issue has been closed by the editor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So now he will have to re-raise the issue, which he didn't get chance to discuss in the first place, but '"without mentioning summary="" ' (as per [2])</div>
<div> </div>
<div>what gives? any ideas?</div>
