Fair enough. 

By the way, I don't see the reference to DOM L2 Core in the Editor's draft (there's a reference to it in the source code, but not in the rendered HTML). I did end up talking about the (historical) internalSubset property of the Doctype object for serialization--since browsers will include it if they support it. Is this what you're referring to?

Yes, I agree and I just updated that section accordingly.

All, and Editor's in particular, please note:

[[
<http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WorkMode#Editors>

Editors in this Working Group have wide freedom to update (add, change,
delete) text in Editor's Drafts without explicit consensus from the group. This method is referred to as Edit First and Review Later and is contrary to other WGs that follow a Review First and Edit Later editing model. Despite this policy, when a substantive change is made to a specification (for example, adding or removing a featured, adding a normative reference, etc.), Editors are expected to create a paper trail for the change such as creating a bug report and/or notifying the appropriate e-mail list.
