(Apologies for not searching W3C Bugzilla for duplicates.)

The spec draft currently uses both American and British English. While I’m
not a 100 % sure if W3C documents aren’t and shouldn’t be usually written
in American English anyway, making this consistent would definitely be helpful.

In case we’d like to default to American English, here’s a list of words in
the spec that seem to be of British origin:

* behaviour
* categorise/categorised
* colour/coloured
* emphasised
* favour
* favourite
* flavours
* honour
* optimise
* recognise/recognised
* serialise/serialisation
* tokeniser
