Ian, Yves,

Please explain why W3C staff insist the following information (that some 
WebApps consider "substantive") in the DOM Parsing and Serialization ED 
must be removed from the document  before it can be published as a 
Technical Report (and please provide the URL of the relevant `process 
doc/rules` that substantiates your rationale):

]]

-Thanks, AB
