OK; the amount of work is ~45 minutes (and probably can be automated for 
future publication cycles).

See attachments; an edited version of the current editor's draft, and 
the diffs.

Recipe: check for <span>...</span>, find the link targets in the WHATWG 
spec, find the matching targets in the W3C spec, change to <a>...</a> 
with that link target.

Observation: the spec refers to the algorithm "decoded as UTF-8, with 
error handling", which is not defined in the HTML spec.
