+== Prioritization of A2 at-risk features ==
+* at risk is: RSS, tab overflow, some platform pieces
+* RSS is a really, really nice to have
+** competitive with IE7, more use of RSS in productivity products in the new Office and Vista
+** still not a significant majority of web users use RSS
+* want to hold to the A2 schedule as-is
+* consider having an A3 based on how the RSS work does
+** '''action item:''' beltzner and schrep to crisp up the schedule for what ship date looks like with and without the A3
+* platform risk priorities: (1) WHATWG offline storage, (2) (tie) JS 1.7, (2) (tie) SVG Fixes, (3) cairo uplift
+* '''action item:''' continue on course for A2, check up on status of RSS and platform pieces and consider an A3 when those things are ready
