[Bug 8079] "the document is therefore required to use UTF-8 as its encoding" - this sounds like it's intended as an informative restatement of the conformance requirements in #character-encoding-declaration, in which case it shouldn't use the normative keyword "requ
[Bug 8094] It's not very clear whether or not this includes word-style, squiggly-line, as-you-type spell-checking. This feature sounds like more of a manual spell-check done after a body of text is completed. Should a spell-check option be added to the CSS spec for
[Bug 8095] link's "type" attribute could be used to advertise available representations if it were linked to the Accept: header per Mike Kelly's thread(s)
[Bug 8096] <link>'s "type" attribute should be allowed to appear multiple times and/or should allow for a space separated list of advertised types, such that clients can request them via the Accept: header.
[Bug 8108] There is no reference about the mouseover event judgment when the element(iframe,canvas, etc..) including the transparent shade comes in succession mutually, and it embarrasses it. I hope the judgment to be done as seen.
[Bug 8109] I'm looking for the API proposal of accessing metadata of media files. For example, I'll want to access metadata of audio files for to get it's title, artists, etc. Or, if I need to get the shooting time of photo, I'll want to get it from JPEG's EXIF
[Bug 8114] Section "months" should be renamed to "year-months". This is clearer, and allows the spec to add a section just handling months (without years) in the future.
[Bug 8115] The note on time-zone ranges is too absolute in stating the limits from -12 to +14 and 00/30/45 minutes. Add the word "currently" in to the note.
[Bug 8120] Shoud their be any reason that two circles, pure white, alpha =1, drawn in xor mode, do not overlap each other perfectly and then do not "cancel" each other ? (this works with rects). Same effect in Safari and firefox. Thanks
[Bug 8125] Can it be specified somewhere that script can define a variable named "top" with 'var top' in a global context? This is currently inconsistent across browsers.
[Bug 8135] "The script element has a src attribute set where previously the element had no such attribute." - should probably only happen if the script is in a document at the time, else http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/298 would break (th
[Bug 8137] In the scripting-enabled case, noscript outside head has to be conforming if replaced by its parsed text, but noscript inside head doesn't (so <noscript><meta bogus></noscript> is allowed); they ought to consistently require conformingness. [pt]
[Bug 8139] In #the-section-element the graduation programme example code formatting is strange—closing brackets have been moved to the subsequent line, elements have been first-letter capitalised
[Bug 8145] Unclear: "Certain algorithms in this specification spoon-feed the parser characters one *string* at a time." Better: "one character at a time"?
[Bug 8147] The suggested size limit is absurd considering the multi-GB space available on even the cheapest netbooks these days. We need a clear "I want this much, how much did the user and his agent allow me to have?" API. Otherwise, online media apps like photo al
[Bug 8150] In the description for article, you talk about "Web log posts" but in the example, you use the much more common and understood "blog post". I think the latter should be used throughout. (I would even go so far as to suggest that "Web log" has lost meaning
[Bug 8151] "If the resulting value is not a recognized language code, then it must be treated as an unknown language (as if the value was the empty string)." -- consider how this interacts with CSS :lang(), with passthrough/roundtripping, screen readers that recogni
[Bug 8153] "The default is start. Other values are ignored." (et passim) would read better if the sentences are reversed ("possible values are [...]. Other values are ignored. The default is [...].")
[Bug 8173] Last paragraph, first (only) sentence; add the "to" in brackets ([]) as follows: "are expected to distribute the remainder first [to] the last entry whose unit is relative"
[Bug 8412] New: To prevent sites from loading gigabytes of data, shouldn't the user agent explicitly mention the size of the files in the manifest. (This would also require a check during the downloading process, as to whether the provided sizes are real)
[Bug 8414] New: Shouldn't the example pattern be "^[0-9][A-Z]{3}$"? The current example would succeed with any string containing a part number, and not just a string that is one.
[Bug 8416] New: The "Fragment identifier loop" part of the "update the session history with the new page" algorithm should spin the event loop instead of just hanging the browser... Also, the last step in that algorithm should jump back to the frag id loop step, not the
[Bug 8417] New: "user agents must yield to whatever script invoked the navigation steps" should also allow tasks to continue, with the rest of the algorithm being async, so that the event loop doesn't block waiting for data.
[Bug 8436] New: "granularity that is expected (and required) of the value, by limiting the allowed values" -- granularity requirments may often be different for validation versus usability/ui-control purposes. There should be a 'step' for possible GUI controls and an oth
[Bug 8446] New: we should add an example here showing a webmail client providing autocomplete suggestions for <input multiple type=email list=contacts> while the UA adds its own suggestions from the platform's native contacts database.
[Bug 8448] New: There's an extra word (marked with ***) in this sentence: "It indicates that ***the*** no referrer information is to be leaked when following the link."
[Bug 8459] New: "For instance, a user agent might wait 500ms or 512 bytes, whichever came first." -- IMO this is a bad example, over a satellite link the typical RTT might be 600-1500ms. Or is the assumption that the counting starts after the first packet of data is rece
[Bug 8485] New: "Otherwise, if the col element has no span attribute, or if trying to parse the attribute's value resulted in an error, then let span be 1.": This should account (again) for span=0. [ms]
[Bug 8487] New: "A future version of this specification will probably define a 3d context (probably based on the OpenGL ES API).": reference WebGL rather than a "future version of this specification"? [ms]
[Bug 8491] New: Using "Window" for this interface is very unfortunate. That word is heavily overloaded and it is already "taken" by javascript. The API documentation here illustrates the issue: note the attribute 'window' of type WindowProxy. In all kinds of discussions

[Bug 8493] New: I think <hr> element should represent NOT ONLY a paragraph-level thematic break BUT ALSO a separator between flow contents, for backword compatibility.
[Bug 8506] New: The value of a hidden-state input element as defined here does not have a concept of a defaultValue. Setting either the value or the defaultValue will both result in changing of the value since both are direct access to the attribute rather than an insta
[Bug 8513] New: AFAICT from WebIDL, ports can never be null, so step 3 is a no-op. If the sequence should be nullable, it has to be written with a question mark in the IDL, I think. [sp]
[Bug 8515] New: Would be nice to clarify how this interacts with https. Many browsers do not cache https data to disk at all and it would be nice for https based applications to have some way to take advantage of disk based cache for non-sensitive data.
[Bug 8533] New: "Throws a SYNTAX_ERR exception the arguments have invalid values (e.g., in the case of XML documents, if the given string is not well-formed)." Should read "Throws a SYNTAX_ERR exception IF the arguments have invalid values (e.g., in the case of XML docum
[Bug 8535] New: For the sake of consistency, should the misspelling not be preserved, at least as an accepted varient? The keywords "noreferrer" and "noreferer" should be equivalent.
[Bug 8538] New: What is the resolution of the attributes? Should the amount of seconds be expressed as an integer or a float, and in the latter case, with what precision?
[Bug 8545] New: Remove "Window implements WindowModal; /* sometimes */" as it doesn't add anything and it contradicts the definition of "implements" in WebIDL [ms]
[Bug 8546] New: "...can only do so because they have the two Document object have the same origin.": s/they have the two Document object/the two Document objects/ [ms]
[Bug 8548] New: Move this section ("Namespaces") out of "9 The HTML syntax" and into "2 Common infrastructure", as it is relevant to other sections as well [ms]

[Bug 8556] New: "types with unknown parameters must be assumed to be unsupported" - <style type="text/css; charset=xxx"> should be assumed to be unsupported as well?
[Bug 8557] New: Where is the definition of "text-based" and "XML-based" languages? In my opinion it should be defined based on whehter type="" is an XML MIME type or not.
[Bug 8566] New: The 1st paragraph of this section doesn't match the parsing rules in the last paragraph. Also, the first para seems to refer to document type rather than element type. Change "element in the document" to "document element" maybe?
[Bug 8569] New: I just checked Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and IE, and Firefox seems to be the only browser treating two subsequent HYPHEN-MINUS characters in a comment as a signature of comment end. I suggest to allow subsequent HYPHEN-MINUS characters in comments, a
example "<span itemscope><span itemprop="name">The Castle</span></span>" Is "<span itemscope itemprop="name">The Castle</span>" allowed. This wasn't clear to me.
