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
