Re: [webauthn] The W3C HTML spec is broken, and probably shouldn't be referenced

It's up to you (the WG working on webauthn) if you want to reference 
W3C HTML, as I said.  But then you will have to do due diligence on 
whether it actually says what you want it to say, because it has a 
history of all sorts of bugs that get introduced during the forking 
process.

In the end, of course, either the tests that will presumably be 
written to test webauthn will catch issues, or the tests won't reflect
 what the spec actually says (and UAs that try to implement what the 
spec does say will discover the hard way that it doesn't mean what it 
says).  It's going to be a giant waste of everyone's time either way, 
of course...
