I don not believe the W3C HTML5 specification is a notebook for Ian to scribble his personal opinions about changes he disagrees with. The W3C HTML5 specification is being littered with comments by the HTML5 editor,, these seem to appear whenever a working group decison does not go his way, for example: [1] <!-- The following paragraph is not included in the WHATWG copy because it is wrong. For example, content models are not syntax. It's also unnecessary. What kinds of things are conformance requirements is explained in the previous section, which talks about RFC 2119. --> [2] <!--(the following is not included in the WHATWG spec for quality reasons)--> [3] <!--(there's no reason to convey <img> elements with alt="" text as images to an AT)--> <!--(none of the following six rows make any sense)--> While i believe it is Ian hicksons right to add whatever comments he likes to his whatwg specification, I do not believe such comments are helpful or useful or correct in the the context of the W3C HTML5 specification. I would ask Ian to remove such comments from the W3C HTML5 specification, if he is unwilling then I ask the chairs advice on how to resolve this issue.
