Could you please release the OpenCL C 1.1 kernel language tests?
Opening the OpenCL C language standard development process would also
be greatly beneficial to the WWW and Khronos. Is there a public OpenCL
C mailing list?

In many respects, the WebGL process is private by default and public
by exception.

I am concerned that WebCL will behave similarly.

For example, consider the WebCL mailing list names:

webcl@khronos.org
public_webcl@khronos.org

for what is, ostensibly, a new World Wide Web standard. Why not
default to public and only use private mailing lists for topics that
are legitimately private (individual vendor security vulnerabilities,
etc)?
