Re: [whatwg/dom] Remove Goals and Historical sections (#918)

@domenic commented on this pull request.

Hmm, I find the list of things that were explicitly removed kind of helpful... some of it could be cleaned up, e.g. things now defined elsewhere, and in general some of the section tries to act like a changelog, and there's no way that changelog is up to date.

But, explaining that we successfully removed getUserData()/xmlEncoding/setIdAttribute()/etc. seems good for people who might be coming from Java or similar? And it's kind of similar to HTML's https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#non-conforming-features section.

So my preference would be to remove the Goals section, and morph the Historical section to just list all the removed interfaces/attributes/operations, broken down by interface. You could do so without referencing what specs they were originally in, just an intro sentence saying "previous DOM specifications" or something like that.

WDYT?
