[public-webapps and www-tag to bcc]

Hi Glenn, James,

I think as Art carefully reminded us, this is off-topic for www-tag and public-webapps. I hope you will contain further discussions to public-w3process as was requested.

WHATWG specs are not legitimate for reference by W3C specs.

Do you have a citation to back up this claim?

Their IPR status is indeterminate and they do not follow a consensus process.

Do you have citations for where this is listed as part of the requirements for references in W3C specifications?

I know these are your personal opinions but am not aware of anything that states this is W3C process.
