With only one quibble that is of no consequence, the answer is yes.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2009Jun/0132.htmlThe quibble: I believe that in order to produce a draft with the intent
of being considered a product of the HTML Working Group, one must be a
member of that group. Fortunately, we the Working Group has a policy of
being open to all that wish to contribute, so effectively this is not a
barrier at all.
