I believe that it is common, in specs, to denote principles (because this is a principle and not a definition, I would say) as non-normative. I believe this is also the way the HTML5 spec is structured. > Incidentally, the latest working draft, dated October 25th, has a red > box pointing at the editor's draft being more up to date: > http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-polyglot-20121025/ > > But the editor's draft it links to is dated July 9th: > http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-xhtml-author-guide/ Please file a bug. -- leif h silli
