Thanks for doing this work. Since authoring tool definition is "normative", I have a few questions: (1) Do we need a definition of "software" for "authoring tool"? (2) Does the Web Content produced by the "authoring tool" actually have to be "published", or is the intent to "publish" sufficient for this definition? Just wondering..
