I'm not making hand-waving assertions -- my fingers are on my keyboard as I type. The feedback you're receiving loud and clear from me and many others is that the balance has gone too far toward the extreme of defining html5 as a language that is the union of all markup constructs seen on the Web. I rest my case by pointing at the size of the document --- for particular examples, see the thread about table structure that was used on this list as an argument for dismissing having any kind of formal description for the language.
