My understanding from the above and the discussion to date for works not associated with specific software, in a bulleted nutshell, is

- Any work using information from the W3C HTML5 specification in bulk or small amounts to describe software is OK, although not authorized.
- Any work describing a change to how something in the W3C HTML5 specification is to behave (like adding an attribute to an element) by changing only that part of the wording and
     -- republishing the work as the W3C HTML5 *or* the HTML5 specification is *not* permitted.
     -- publishing it as a separate document not claiming to be a technical specification is OK, although not authorized.
     -- publishing it as a separate document *and* claiming to be a technical specification and not including or implying 'HTML' or 'W3C' in the title is OK, although not authorized.
