Indeed; that overlap is one of the main reasons why this has not happened yet. I have a vague plan to look at this in more detail sometime, but I don't know how soon that will happen. If you want faster progress, we could try setting up a wiki page or something to enumerate the questions that need to be answered. [1] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/35
