Thanks for taking care of this, Jay.  I encourage everyone to take another read through the current ED [1] now that it has been reintegrated.  Rik has raised some concerns [2] which we can discuss on Monday.

However, there was concern that the addition of lots of informative text would cause a noticeable deviation from the WHAT WG spec and would not be consistent with other parts of this spec.
