I think it would be pretty bad to have multiple normative specs for  
the syntax of HTML. I would be strongly opposed to publishing Mike's  
document as Working Draft or later unless its status is changed to  
informative. Already it is out of sync with the main HTML5 spec on  
such basic things as the set of elements in the language.
