Re: Timeline for HTML

We could also question whether it's necessary to push on this with any
urgency.

In the current state, Indexed DB https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/ has
normative references to HTML https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/ and
DOM https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/ (and Infra https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/
apparently - yay Bikeshed!):
https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/#index-defined-elsewhere

I filed the relevant issue with the intent that having
https://w3c.github.io/html/ and https://w3c.github.io/dom/ include the same
content would seemingly be ideal (W3C having normative dependencies on
other W3C where possible), but Indexed DB is not inconsistent due to the
absence. I don't want to push unnecessary work on others, or delay other
work.

(As an aside, I note that https://w3c.github.io/dom/#index-defined-elsewhere
lists normative dependencies on https://dom.spec.whatwg.org - but that may
be a tooling issue rather than intent)
