RE: CfC: Request transition of HTML5 to Candidate Recommendation

The Chairs and Team are simply doing what the HTML WG has done consistently for the last several years as we move a specification from one W3C Recommendation track step to another ie WD, LC, and CR.  There is no requirement in the W3C Process or in the HTML WG practice to publish a stable, referensible WD between steps.

That is not a stable link, let alone a stable document.  Did you read it
with CSS on?  I don't see why you are refusing to publish it as a WG product
first before calling for CR.
