The split between "vocabulary" and "core" is very awkward. For example several attributes are defined in the "core" spec, whereas I would have expected them all to be defined in the "vocabulary" spec. I support the idea of splitting out things like the Window object, browsing context, History, and similar things that aren't actually HTML specific. However I don't think the split between these two documents are currently good and will ultimately lead to more confusion and complexity, than it helps with those things. Thus I reluctantly suggest that these two documents be merged back together again. At least for now. Alternatively, if the split could be made better before we publish, that would be ok too. I support the publication of the other specifications though. / Jonas
