What about indicating to the WG the existence of theses sources and let him react ? We don't own the spec, but "This group will maintain and produce incremental revisions to the HTML specification" (http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter.html#scope), not "This group will help the editor maintain...". So as an editor, you have to take your material from the group. As a group member, you have to indicate any intersting ressource.
