An editor making a change to the spec while a Change Proposal is under
consideration and without consulting the proposal's author or participating in
HTMLWG discussion has been controversial [1].
A point that doesn't seem to be well understood is that an editor's edits to
the spec are all provisional not final decisions. Without a specific Working
Group decision nothing is official.
However, as Shelley has pointed out in this bug and in previous discussions [2]
and as John recently addressed on public-html [3], a question of equity exists.
It may be helpful and collegial if editors would propose edits to the working
group while Change Proposals are officially under discussion. Then after
consensus or a decision is reached, the change could be written into the spec
(or not if the will of the group was a zero edit).
Please consider clarifying the decision policy. Thanks.
