How would you feel about a single normative spec with the full set of conformance requirements for both authors and UAs, plus additional material specifically for authors which only talks about conforming content? For example, a tutorial/primer, a quick reference guide, and a slightly more advanced authoring guide that explains the conformance rules for documents. Regards, Maciej
