Hi James,
in regards to bug
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17987
pertains to HTML living standard (product WHATWG) not HTML5 it is a clone
of bug https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16186
<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16186%20>
which is the orginal bug on HTML5
While hixie is free to WONTFIX WHATWG bugs at will, which he did in this
case the HTML5 bug should not be affected.
It is hoped that the changes and process will be more clearly explained so
HTML WG members do not waste undue time on cloned bugs.
