Re: Publication of specifications as HTML5

> [1] there are additional rules for polyglot documents to ensure that the document works as XML and HTML (for example, no XML declaration allowed, therefore encoding can only be utf-8 (or utf-16 but that was excluded from polyglot)).  So it's not just xml well-formedness. Having said that, I don't think there are many additional rules to worry about. That's what the polyglot spec describes: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/

I know what polyglot prescribes. :) It is not what we are discussing here.
What I was aiming at are along these:

1. Finding a ground where 
	- a group could publish its documents in HTML5
	- the tools using W3C specifications pre/post publishing would not be disturbed.
2. To not worry about formalism but being practical about what we want to achieve.


> what's needed is a defined subset of HTML5 for editors to use that reflects what is currently supported on major browsers.


This seems to be a good goal to pursue. It is why I was thinking of an HTML file which could be "seen as xml"
http://caniuse.com will help here

What I have not seen on the discussion thread yet (and that I would like to see) is 
What are the current *tools* requirements for processing/hosting a document on W3C space?
With these requirements, *we* (the community altogether) can decide what is usable or not.
