[Bug 7143] "attributes marked with an asterisk cannot be specified on body elements" is confusing, since <body onload=""> is pretty common. Of course that's the attribute specified on a tag, but still, I'm just a simple author reading the spec for the first time :)
[Bug 7144] I am not sure if we are ditching ALT in favour of legend. You don't make this clear here. Some of your alt examples here resemble longdesc, which I am in favour of ditching completely. I'd be interested to see your answer on whatwg list about this
[Bug 7152] "When the user agent has completely fetched of the entire media resource, […]" No 'of' and only one of 'completely' or 'entire' should remain in the text. Mentioned one week ago on the list. Taking the opportunity to try this inline review box.
[Bug 7154] icon attribute: We can't apply so-called "CSS Sprite" technique for command icons. We need another attribute to specify clip position and size.
[Bug 7190] New: Since all "specially focusable" elements have an activation behaviour, the Action of accesskey-laden commands is to _not_ focus them if they are focusable. Instead, such elements should probably always be focused if focusable, then be activated.

[Bug 7241] Need to explain exactly what happens if wrap=hard is specified *without* cols being specified. Should it act like wrap=soft, or like cols=20?

[Bug 7253] New: Media elements should provide a "next" property to gaplessly play back another media object after it has finished. This woud allow proper playback of gapless albums and an in-browser implementation of HTTP Adaptive Bitrate Streaming.
[Bug 7254] New: If <audio> was able to play back multiple source urls without gaps, JavaScript could decode or generate continuous audio to data: urls on the fly.
[Bug 7258] New: Should state that a new Date object is returned each time the date/time/timezone attributes are accessed if the intention is for them not to be reflecting datetime="" or the element content.
[Bug 7263] New: this thing really heavy, tried solution: switch to user mode css, after all rendered, return to author mode, scrolling is heavy though,,, try open panel & add info, heavy too..
[Bug 7269] New: user agent requirements: for value=8 max="", step 4 and 11 will cause current value and maximum value to be set to 1, which is destructive (if script wanted to obtain the original value). suggest step 4 change to set maximum to value
[Bug 7272] New: The explanatory text and the diagram suggest that legs and tails should be th, rather than td -- but the example has td. JimJJewett@gmail
[Bug 7273] New: The word "left" should not be part of the link when saying that attributes can be left unquoted. It sounds too much like "left outer join" or such, and might imply that it was legal to unquote only one side, or some such oddness. JimJJewett@gmail

[Bug 7275] New: "The markup snippet at the top of this section" should be a link to that snippet; the section is long enough that the snippet will already have scrolled off-screen for some people. (In my case, it had also escaped my short-term memory.) JimJJewett@gmail
[Bug 7276] New: "tree order" -- is this a section that can assume formal compsci training, or should a short (4 nodes?) example be given? JimJJewett@gmail
[Bug 7277] """(This is only a "SHOULD" and not a "MUST" requirement because it has been proven to be impossible.""" There has to be better wording than 'should do the impossible'. Should attempt to verify? Impossible in some cases? JimJJewett@gmail

[Bug 7278] New: numbers seem ignorant of i18n - is <meter>10,3</meter> taken as 10? requirements for number may expand to include, i.e.: U+002C COMMA for European №
[Bug 7351] New: The note ("The point of hgroup is to mask an h2 element (that acts as a secondary title) from the outline algorithm.") should be explicitly associated with the example below it that it applies to. (in general, a hgroup could mask an h3, h4, h5, etc.).
[Bug 7357] New: That ApplicationCache implements EventTarget should be a line in the IDL, not in prose: "ApplicationCache implements EventTarget;". This might apply to other sections too.
[Bug 7364] New: The contents attribute is declared as read/write, however the following description only gives information about getting the value of the attribute. Should the contents attribute be marked as readonly?
[Bug 7368] New: The suggested UI for the mark element does not match the description and the examples. E.g. code highlighting is not something you want to see marked in the scrollbar. Personally I think code highlighting should just be done with strong.

[Bug 7369] New: if context font is set to '' or null, the font from the css should be used. In this case, you have no idea what font is being use, so measureText should return a height of the font, as well as the width so that proper displaying can be done.
[Bug 7403] New: What should happen when audio does not have controls but author specifies display:inline? Show fallback? Show blank box with the same size as if it had controls? Force display:none?
[Bug 7407] "The examples in the previous section show how information could be marked up on a page that doesn't expect its microdata to be re-used." is not true anymore

[Bug 7411] :invalid and :out-of-range shouldn't match until the user has consciously interacted with the form. Roughly, after the input fires a change event. If, say, <input required> matches :invalid immediately on pageload, it becomes basically useless.

[Bug 7415] New: "The rules for parsing simple color values are as given in the following algorithm." --> "The rules for parsing simple color values are given in the following algorithm."
[Bug 7417] New: Why use radians as opposed to degrees? Does this mean I can never draw a complete circle because I don't have enough bits to represent 2pi?
[Bug 7418] New: See if we can make popstate more synchronous so that when it fires, the doc is in the expected state, rather than three back-button-steps later. But consider nested calls to history.back().

[Bug 7419] New: Add replaceState() — e.g. consider panning on a maps application, not all the steps should be new states for back/forward, but we do want to update the url for persistence.
[Bug 7427] New: When the maxlength attribute is omitted it should return -1 like Opera and Firefox and not 0. (Alternatively it could return the maximum value like Chrome and presumably Safari do, but that seems less nice.

[Bug 7428] New: Safari 4 preloads media and FF 3.5 doesn't in <audio> tag; perhaps HTML5 sections 4.8.10.5 4.8.10.8 are unclear or need a 'preloading' attribute added.

[Bug 7431] New: "willful double violation of RFC 2046": The word "double" is splitting the defined term "willful violation". This sounds like a new defined term and interferes with document searching. Instead use "willful violation of two aspects of RFC 2046"
[Bug 7432] New: 'have been noted as "willful violations"': Other places use the signular, "willful violation". For consistency, non-native english readers and easy text search, use the singular when defining the term. E.g. 'have each been noted as a "willful violation".
[Bug 7434] Everything with role=heading should also have an associated aria-level that indicates the level of the heading. The level of the heading should probably be based on the outline algorithm.

[Bug 7441] New: The specification only ever uses the prefix:localName convention for some attributes in the XML namespace and whenever it does it is pretty explicit about it. xml:id is never mentioned outside this section and the prefixes svg and html are never used.

[Bug 7445] New: editorial: This section becomes a subsection of "the xhtml syntax" in the author edition. Maybe either move this section somewhere else or keep the "Rendering" and "Interaction with CSS" headings outside class=impl
[Bug 7447] New: "Use the data and type attributes to invoke plugins." should also mention that <param> can be used to pass parameters with these names to the plugin
[Bug 7452] New: "The collection of Documents is the browsing context's session history. " -- What do you mean by "the collection of documents" ? not clear
[Bug 7453] New: "preferred name" should be "preferred MIME name" but it should also state that if there is no preferred MIME name for the encoding the name of the encoding should be used.
[Bug 7456] New: Ogg vorbis realy should be standard since it is open and everything can then support it without patent costs. This is REALLY important. Most other standards need patent money. Apple's H.264 is CERTAINly bad here.
[Bug 7457] New: Ogg theora needs to be used here as an open standard. Having different standards in different browsers will confuse the matter and it is the only standard to my knowledge that is not patent encumbered. This is seriously important to reinstate.
[Bug 7460] New: Under "JavaScript": The note containing a "willful violation" doesn't contain the words "willful violation" as promised by section 1.5.2.
[Bug 7466] New: This section forbids exposing rel=feed but not exposing e.g. rel=copyright. I think that is wrong. The specification should not dictate UI for this.

[Bug 7470] New: JimJJewett gmail: The implications of these tables should also appear at element level -- e.g, td model or dom should mention aria- -- unless it is explicitly not exposed, for some reason.
[Bug 7471] New: JimJJewett gmail: Make explicit reasons for *not* exposing aspect ratio/clipping. (Security vs simplification). Deals with http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/2007/12/SMIL-AudioVideoControlConcepts.html#L2398 note1
[Bug 7473] New: JimJJewett gmail: Mention explicitly that the mapping for foreign content -- including adopted MathML or SVG -- is left to those working groups. (Otherwise, I would have expected some strong native semantics for math to math)
