The web developers edition is a mechanically subsetted version, with different css styling so isn't really relevant to the discussion of the dangers of diverging forked development. > I also don't think there is consensus that creativity should only > happen within the WHATwg space.

The W3C announcement eg as phrased at http://www.w3.org/QA/2012/07/html5_and_htmlnext.html is basically in line with what I said. This HTML WG should work towards HTML5 and the WHAT CG should work on HTML.next. All I was saying if that we are planning to add new features to HTML beyond what is currently specified in HTML5 then common sense dictates that they be compatible with HTML.next.
