The only mechanism is to change the header (potentially including the introduction, though right now that is included in the common section). I would really like to avoid any differences in normative sections if at all possible, as it would lead to the W3C version being less useful to readers than the WHATWG version. Making them different should be considered a last resort, the symbol of the W3C HTML WG and the WHATWG being unable to come to an agreement (and thus a failure for us, the HTMLWG, to follow our charter). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
