I object to publishing this as a normative document unless there's Status of the Document text explaining that in the case this document and HTML5 proper disagree, the full HTML5 spec governs. I support publication if such text is included. I think it would be ideal if the text also encouraged discrepancies to be filed as bugs. The following text or a substantially similar formulation would remove my objection: "This document is an automated redaction of the full HTML5 specification. As such, the two documents are supposed to agree on normative matters concerning Web authors. However, if the documents disagree, this is a bug in the redaction process and the unredacted full HTML specification takes precedence. Readers are encouraged to report such discrepancies as bugs in the bug tracking system of the HTML WG." -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
