My expectation is that public-webapps will continue to be one venue for 
comments about the spec.

If a credible Editor does not commit to moving the spec along the REC 
track, then I believe one option is for the WG to publish the spec. That 
is, don't specifically identify an Editor. Regardless, as I stated 
previously, proper attribution is needed.

I am not aware of any changes nor impending changes to the W3C's 
Document license policy WebApps follows.
