Hi marco,
>What about having a disclaimer in the SoTD that states "Caution, this is
an Editor's draft and hence may contain changes not yet agreed to by the
WG"... or some such.

I don't think thats enough, what the HTML5 spec had before last call was
markers on any parts of the spec that had an issue raised against it with a
link to the issue. this was achieved using a script.

I think that having an indicator for any non editorial change that has not
been agreed by a working group would be useful.

regards
steve
