It's often hard to see whether previous comments have been received  
and whether they were either accepted or rejected (and why). Without  
any feedback at all, even implicit, I have to assume my comments got  
ignored or, worse, have not been read. I'd rather not repeat myself,  
but I think this would really improve the specification a lot for  
readers at very little cost, i.e. without changes to the prose.

Back in March I suggested to reorganize the section order to aid  
readers -- it currently more or less resembles the historic  
development of this module. Links and anchors should be able to stay  
as they are. You should also get rid of lonely headings, i.e. those  
that have no siblings (e.g. "4.2.4.1. HSL Examples").

I assume there will be a W3C QA review of the document before PR  
publication, which should catch orthographical, typographical and  
other editorial errors like mixed quote sign usage ("'foo'" and  
"‘bar’"), "¡" instead of "°" or inconsistent heading case.

Does W3C style really recommend / require a dot after first-level  
heading numbers ("3.", not "3"), but not after all subsequent ones  
("3.1", not "3.1.")?
