The W3C transition steps documentation says that a "In general, documents do not advance to Recommendation with normative references to W3C specifications that are not yet Recommendations." [1] We currently have normative references to HTML 5 ([BROWSINGCONTEXT], [DOCUMENTORIGIN], and [NAVIGATOR]), as well as to WebIDL. None of these specs are Recommendations and these references could therefore block our transition to PR. We could replace the [DOCUMENTORIGIN] with a reference to RFC 2396 if we actually go ahead and change the wording in section 4.1, as previously discussed. I don't know how or if we could get rid of the other references, though, nor if the "In general" qualification means that exceptions can be made. Matt, could you perhaps share some thoughts on that?
