I propose this section to  be renamed to clear up the  
misunderstanding that we see often.
	from "Writing HTML Documents"
	to   "Writing HTML Documents for markup producers"

Then a link to [Authoring tools and markup generators][2]
"Authoring tools and markup generators must generate conforming  
documents. Conformance criteria that apply to authors also apply to  
authoring tools, where appropriate."

btw there is no link
	from the definition section (#editors)
	to section 8.1 (#writing)

It will make  possible another section or a link to an external  
document a WG note for example on
	"Writing HTML documents for authors"
