I personnally never saw a big advantage in that approach. The HTML spec is rarely something people read from begining to end, so very few people know its order. I actually read the HTML spec that way, but I probably remember the chapter ordering because of the HAG document, not the other way around. Of course, this doesn't preclude linking from the HAG to the HTML spec, but keeping them in synch isn't really helping here. > While I'm not convinced that recasting the current guidelines > along these axes would make a huge difference We need more "user" (author that is) review to decide. > There is no mention of anything HTML-specific until > the implementation section.

In any case, I would keep the current organization unchanged for this coming public draft, and revisit the issue later.
