For more detailed responses, please file a single bug per issue. In brief:

> It is our understanding that the CSSWG defines pseudo-class selectors in its
> modules, and the HTMLWG defines how elements enter the corresponding states in
> HTML5. Given that understanding, this section seems to be missing normative

The references are at the top of the section.

Done.


> We've added '':past'' and '':future'' to the Selectors 4 draft for you, btw.

I think :past, :future, and ::cue() are better defined in the spec that needs
them, namely the WebVTT spec. (Just like, for example, the regions spec is the
right place to define the extensions to Element that it adds.)


> The link to CSS2.1 [CSS] should be http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/, not the CSS
> Snapshot page.

It's intended to link to whatever is the most recent normative text for CSS,
not CSS2.1 specifically.


> The link to CSS Color Module Level 3 [CSSCOLOR] should be
> http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/, not the development version.

Where public development versions exist, they are preferred as they represent
more up to date text.


> In the CSSWG, while Editor's Drafts are public, they are published at the sole
> discretion of the document's editor and have not necessarily been reviewed or
> approved by the CSSWG. Therefore they do not serve as official statements on

They're not intended to be links to anything official, they're intended to be
links to the most useful information.


> Section 4.8.2 describing the 'seamless' attribute attempts to specify the

Please elaborate on what is insufficient in a separate bug, or provide a URL to
which the spec can defer.

It is normative, ish. It is not non-normative. (Whether it is informative or
not is debatable, but that's a separate issue.)
