My comment is not meant to be offensive, it is merely a reflection of my
interpretation of pseudonymous participation in this context.

I have seen no reason offered about why there should be any departure in the
reasonable expectation that works are identified by real persons. As far as I
know, this is not a real person. Let Ms2ger use his identity in his published
works, at least in the context of publishing W3C works or works intended to be
normatively referenced by W3C works. Or find a proxy willing to identify
themself and use their name as the primary author/editor.

Note that I have not objected to [DOMRANGE] since an identified person is
listed as the first editor (even though Ms2ger is listed as a second editor).

My primary objection to [DOMPARSING] is that Ms2ger is listed as the only
author/editor, which I find unacceptable.
