Re: Formal Objection Tracker is missing a FO

  What I can do is make a Last Call comment about the references to 
WhatWG documents in the HTML5 spec. If no resolution comes about based 
on that Last Call comment, and the decision is made to proceed with the 
WhatWG references, then I can re-issue the Formal Objection. This 
approach would ensure that the FO fits within the W3C procedures.

Thanks.
