            Bug ID: 20707
           Summary: Please add a Scope section per the qualification of
                    the TAG's support for REC track publication
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CR HTML/XHTML Compatibility Authoring Guide (ed: Eliot
                    Graff)
          Assignee: eliotgra@microsoft.com
          Reporter: hsivonen@iki.fi
        QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org

See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Dec/0082.html from the
TAG.

The email says, in part:
“
We understand that the HTML WG is currently debating whether to publish the
Polyglot draft as a Recommendation or a Note. We support the publication of the
Polyglot draft as a Recommendation, with the addition of a Scope section that
makes the intended uses of polyglot clear. The scope should indicate that

 * the use of polyglot is suitable as an
   option for tool chains that operate in
   controlled environments and for authoring
   tools

 * XML-based HTML tools or systems intended
   for the most general contexts of use cannot
   depend on polyglot input: for maximum flexibility,
   such tools should use the technique of using an
   HTML parser that produces an XML-compatible DOM or
   event stream

Making these points would make it clearer what polyglot is being recommended
for, and what it is not being recommended for.
”

Please add a Scope section that communicates the points outlined in the TAG
email.
