This has already been discussed. This was a constraint that the TAG placed on continuance of the browser-centric spec. If you want to object to the full HTML5 spec being authoritative, feel free to do so. Correction, this was not a constraint, but a request from the TAG, which at least at the time the HTML WG chose to grant. As far as I know, the TAG has no authority to override the decisions of Working Groups and therefore cannot impose a "constraint". Note to Jonas: even if the document is initially published as normative, in my opinion at least it would be valid to file a bug to make it informative or even to put it on Note track instead of REC track since the original CfC was a little vague about the implications.
