1. WD Short name

> Microdata is currently here:
>  
> http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/

We need to recommend the "short name" for this WD for when it appears on the W3C TR page.  The above URL suggests we might use "md".   Should we use "md" or a more meaningful "microdata"?

2. Status Section

I believe the Status section of this document needs to be updated:

a) The first sentence of the Status section needs to uniquely describe this particular WD:

"This is the first Public Working Draft of the "HTML Microdata" specification for review by W3C members and other interested parties."  This material was published previously as part of the [HTML5] specification.

b) Since the Status section is supposed to describe the unique status of the WD, I would like to suggest that you add a paragraph as the second paragraph of the Status section.  For example:

"This Working Draft includes the following changes:

* conversion to a standalone Working Draft that is layered on top of W3C HTML5.
* <other changes made during the FPWD conversion>"

3. References

>[HTML5] 
>HTML5, I. Hickson. WHATWG, August 2009.

The HTML5 reference in this document points to the WHAT WG version of HTML5.  This reference should be changed in the W3C FPWD to point to the W3C version of HTML5.
