OK, I have reviewed the status section. It would be useful to improve the
following wording:

   - "Work on this specification is also done at the
WHATWG<http://www.whatwg.org/>
   ."
      - I find this confusing since what is being worked on in the WHATWG
      is more of the nature of an input document to consider for acceptance,
      mutatis mutandis, in this specification. I'm afraid that as stated, this
      sentence produces more confusion that it eliminates.
   - "within the bounds of the W3C HTML working group
charter<http://www.w3.org/2013/09/html-charter.html>
   "
      - It would be useful to add text to the end of this of the nature
      "and W3C Process and Patent Policy" (with appropriate links);
