I created the Issue and besides the scenario Jeff mentioned, the other scenario I recall is the Progress Events spec needing to replace a normative reference to a WHATWG spec before the PR was allowed to be published. I suppose one could certainly argue if the decision (to not permit such references) is made by the AC, the CEO, the Director, ... and/or some combination. Regardless, since this is indeed the practice (again, as I have experienced it), I think it would be helpful to clearly document this practice in the NRP so other actors (Chairs, Editors, Public, etc.) know about this constraint (PRs cannot include normative references to WHATWG specs) and can plan accordingly. -AB [1] <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Team/team-webapps/2013Nov/0021.html>
