That sounds nice in principle, but not necessarily appropriate in practice. One specification can place dependencies on others as a basis for strong interoperability. The author might therefore want to opt into a particular version of HTML to imply those dependencies. The needs of authors should be paramount even if that means creating a little extra work for the specification process to deal with such dependencies.
