The "Status of this Document" section for all published W3C
Working Draft, Candidate/Proposed Recommendations always lists the
address of a mailing list to which comments should be sent.

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/#status

In the case of XHTML Basic 1.0, it seems it's www-html-editor@w3.org
In notice that the SOTD for XHTML Basic 1.0 also says that the
deadline for sending such comments July 15.
