ok, if the WF2 draft has moved to W3C space, where it is ostensively
being reviewed and developed, why does the pointer to the WF2 draft
in the W3C-based version of the HTML5 draft we are all supposed to
be using as the basis for our work, point to a document in whatwg.org
space? should it not point to the WF2 draft submitted to, and
accepted by the W3C?

substitute must for should...
