Cool, a guide for authors based on the normative specification does sound helpful, and the chairs already have identified it as a good secondary deliverable. As long as you don't want to split the normative requirements across two documents then I am ok with it. > The first document (content authoring sub-specification) can be > created by > copying the full specification and deleting huge swaths of text > from it. > The second document (changes from HTML 4) can be created based on the > content authoring sub-specification and the HTML 4 specification > over the > course of a couple of afternoons. I would be happy to write that. If it's more of a tutorial than a conformance document, then you'd probably want to change the wording too. Still, given your enthusiasm, I think you should volunteer for this in the tasks survey. Regards, Maciej
