I see that the WHAT WG HTML review draft has several normative references to W3C documents that have not even reached CR, nevermind full rec - docs that are in Editors' Draft status and thus might change frequently, perhaps in breaking ways. Should the parts of the HTML spec that depend on those non-CR documents be marked in some way, e.g. by marking entire sections as non-normative or subject to change? This question is inspired in part by the IETF's practice of not allowing normative references to i-d's from RFCs. https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/normative-informative-references/ I have a specific request about things included from one of those references, which I'll ask separately. This thread is about the more general case. -- Sam
