Currently, this Internet-Draft is being actively discussed at IETF; we
haven't reached some stable consensus with regard to it. See archives
at http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/maillist.html for
these discussions.

I'll change this to REOPENED now; please consider the following. The authors of
this draft reveled unwillingness o continue work on it (this is at least what
I've deduced from several month co-working with them trying to help with
preparation of new version to consider IETF Last Call comments). Currently IETF
APPSAWG working group is going to overtake this work; the new draft is going to
have rather different concept.
What I propose is to leave all mentions of 'about' URIs in the HTML spec but
make no references. When 'about' URI scheme processes, it will make all
necessary assignments; now please mention "about:<...> is used in <...> and
about:<...> is used in <...>".

What do you mean different concept? You cannot change how it works.

I meant that the document is very likely to be rewritten "from scratch". Most
important, the current system of categorization may change significantly.
Instead of making normative reference to the document whose contents aren't
exactly known, you could better declare their use; however, when there is some
consensus within the IETF on what should the 'about' URI scheme spec be, we'll
fit HTML-used URIs to such document (or vice versa).

Rationale: That is busy work. Please reopen when the IETF is done with its work
on the about URL scheme and then we'll make the relevant changes.
