> I noticed the HTML WG CfC to publish the First Working Draft of the

> complementary to the HTML5 Last Call Working Draft--specifically it
> includes the addition of the crossorigin attribute on the img, video,
> and audio elements.

> This attribute was added after the Last Call document was frozen (for
> the WG vote), and there's currently a bug about presence. More
> importantly, though, you must have consistency in your documents. If the
> HTML5 Edition for Web Authors spec is nothing more than a copy of the
> HTML5 spec, but without the implementer instructions, then you can't
> have differences in the HTML.
>
> There has to be some way to keep all of this stuff in sync. More
> importantly, it's important to ensure that all changes at this point,
> other than minor edits, go through a solid vetting in the WG.
