Please explain "his I-D" which lists "I. Hickson" as an author.
Please compare "publish <personal> I-D as an RFC" against the
(well-documented) IETF process with respect to technical review,
and the documented decision process of RFC Editor and IESG.
Please explain why said I-D is not "something to reference"
that "implementors have".
Please explain why either:
* giving implementors text in the HTML5 spec
which doesn't match text in the I-D is a good idea.
* not updating text in the I-D to respond to technical
criticism of the I-D
are good ideas.
Thanks!
Larry
