No one seems to object to publishing the draft at all. In the end, the addition of the following text to the Status of the Document section seems to address all of the conditional objections:

Surely this doesn't include differences where the full HTML5
specification defines behavior where the Web Authors document leaves
behavior undefined, right? As that will be quite common given the
large amount of normative text which only appears in the full
specification. The above text does not address how such differences
should be handled.
