Ian,

as Philip, I agree with some of these, but not all of them. The way you 
describe the job it's unlikely you'll find somebody.

Furthermore, while I agree it would be good if parts of the spec could 
be moved into stand-alone documents, I don't think that this will be 
sufficient -- unless we really cut the spec into different parts for 
vocabulary, parsing, DOM and additional APIs.

I don't think I would qualify myself, mainly because my background 
doesn't include many things you're asking for, and also because I 
already have committed myself to the editor role on that other important 
spec.

BR, Julian
