As an alternative to being perceived as a "lipsticking drill", I would prefer that others felt that an important part of the spec authoring process includes what amounts to a feasibility study and hands on experimentation with extant authoring tools. I apologize if I've caused any ill will. I do believe that efforts to keep blog.whatwg.org and other sites to be valid relative to the current draft of HTML5 are important in order to keep perspective and to provide an example for others to learn from. Finally, I will express a bit of disappointment at seeing the WordPress folks prematurely being labeled bozos, and am disappointed to see portions of this discussion framed in terms that border on the discussions of epic battles with Zeldman. - Sam Ruby
