Yeah, it was me (though not all edits from that IP are from me, fwiw). It couldn't have been Lachlan as he didn't start working for us until very recently. I made the change because letting it redirect to WHATWG seemed inappropriate (as I said in the commit entry). I didn't think this was too controversial as someone else already created the page. And if it was someone would probably correct me. Other people actually also did this for the "XHTML 5" page[2].
