[Bug 28863] HTML5 spec, 2.4.5.7 Remove comment in source code and make a note or something similar

--- Comment #2 from Stefan Schumacher <stefan@duckflight.de> ---
My comment actually targeted the visible text in the spec, not the comment. If
the facts are unknown to the authors, they should mark it as an example that
might be not precise instead of letting it look like a fact, since they talk
about a person of history and W3C specs might be seen as reliable sources in
some centuries in future.

I found another comment. That seemed to be ignored at that time too.

So it does look like I am not the only one who is concerned about the wording
of that paragraph. But if you like to keep it that way, fine with me. In my
translation I will put a comment then, so that at least the readers of the
translation know, that it is not a known fact by the editors and that it could
be different.

Not a shame for editors of a technical spec not to know everything about
history, since that matter might be a subject of intense research for centuries
of many people.
