Please don't shout or throw things at this respec newbie

I prefer to edit my specs in XML.  I have a usable respec+XHTML source
doc't, which previews correctly in browsers.  Or, rather, I thought I
did.

It works with specStatus="unofficial", but not with specStatus="ED".
In the later case, it fails (Chrome, Opera) with "DOM Exception 12"
(Chrome), "DOMException: SYNTAX_ERR (Opera, which shows a stack trace
with

  Error thrown at line 3, column 165069 in <anonymous function:clean>(e, t, n, r) in
http://darobin.github.com/respec/builds/respec-w3c-common.js:
    t===_?Lt.appendChild(p):x(t).appendChild(p),p.innerHTML=c[1]+f+c[2];)

I'm using

  http://www.w3.org/Tools/respec/respec-w3c-common

which is, as is evident above, obfuscated, so debugging is,
essentially, impossible.

Is there a non-obfuscated version I could be using to get more useful
insight into what's wrong?  Anyone recognise this problem?

Thanks,

[BTW, if I use tidy5 to convert
http://darobin.github.io/respec/docs/template.html to XHTML5, it gives
the same error, so I don't _think_ this is the result of some actual
bug in my source doc't.]
