In section 1.4 (Terminology), this is troublesome: "The term HTML documents is sometimes used in contrast with XML documents to mean specifically documents that were parsed using an HTML parser (as opposed to using an XML parser or created purely through the DOM)." I don't like the idea of a term as important and ubiquitous as "HTML documents" having a variable meaning in a specification, especially one that's about that very topic. I suggest nailing down more precise terminology so there is no ambiguity and no need to warn the reader. Also, perhaps I'm not clear on just how drastic the changes in HTML 5 are (I'm only commenting on random things that caught my eye, at the moment), but it seems counter to my previous experience to imply that an HTML document cannot be created "purely through the DOM".
