Hi Glenn, All,

I don't have any new info re v1 beyond what Boris said a few weeks ago 
in this thread: 
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-script-coord/2014AprJun/0162.html>.

Cameron, Boris - please reply to Glenn's question.

I think the new(ish) normative reference policy [1] provides some 
guidance on how to handle this situation (and WebApps has been able to 
advance several of its specs to REC despite them having a normative 
reference to Web IDL). Are there specific specs (and Web IDL features) 
that concern you, Glenn?

-Thanks, AB
