I don't know why I need to repeat this ... But Anne has still not 
updated Differences document as I asked for on 9th of June - and the 
Chairs have silently ignored it as well.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0224

Summary: The most striking bug that I describe in that letter, is that 
the Differences doc presents <figure> as an element for _Embedding_ 
whereas HTML5 has moved into the Grouping elements section of the spec. 
The Differences doc also has such basic errors as incorrect (though 
rerouted) links. The move from Embedding element to Grouping element is 
not even commented - it represents a change that Differrences should 
have documented. (I'm willing to ignore my two requests to strike two 
sentences that I described as 'laconic/political/ironic' - see my 
original letter.)

Many in the WG (but not I myself) have fought for keeping <figure> in 
the spec and have also rejected Shelley's earlier request to focus 
<figure> as an element for embedding, and instead supported <figure> as 
an element for wide use. But the Differences document has not picked up 
this development, and instead continues to give an incorrect impression 
of what HTML5 says about <figure>, thereby making people basing their 
opinions on <figure> on incorrect and narrow information.

I do not ask Anne to describe <figure> according to my liking - I ask 
him to describe <figure> according to the spec and to document how it 
has developed – and in light and respect of the recent decision process 
w.r.t. <figure> and so on.

Thanks.
