EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest

Status: Accepted
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I changed the wording a few weeks ago in a way that I believe makes
this a non-issue. It now says:

"Media elements must not stop playing just because all references to them have
been removed; only once a media element is in a state where no further audio
could ever be played by that element may the element be garbage collected."
