I added a pointer to the ssTests after creating an Overview.html file
there so that there's a summary page:

  The XML Core Working Group objects to the decision to mark
  discussion of the XML stylesheet PI with type='text/xsl'
  as either "RESOLVED LATER" or "HTML.next".

  The stylesheet PI is widely supported and has been in use for
  a long time. It is an important part of the browser API.  Some
  test cases for the XML stylesheet PI with type='text/xsl' have
  been attached to the bug report at
  https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/attachment.cgi?id=1046
  (These are also available at http://www.w3.org/XML/2011/11/ssTests/)

  The XML Core WG remains concerned that the absence of a mention
  of support for the XML stylesheet PI with type='text/xsl' would
  serve to discourage users from taking advantage of the existing
  functionality and might set implementers on a path towards
  deprecating the feature.

  The XML Core WG feels strongly that some mention of support
  for the XML stylesheet PI with type='text/xsl' or
  type='application/xslt+xml' needs to be included in the
  initial HTML5 Recommendation.

Anyone unhappy?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
