Re: New ED for HTML 5.1

(Moving my question to html-admin for obvious reasons)

Thanks for all the efforts in building an updated 5.1 spec.

IIUC, this is a patching system that pulls in the WHATWG spec and applies
patches for the different htmlwg features that differ. Is that correct? If
so, how often do you pull in the latest upstream codebase?

I'm merely curious.

Best Regards,
Silvia.
