I think this hits both of my concerns.  For ease of use, it's a pain
to have the spec data and tools spread across two different version
control systems. And I don't like the idea that any one member of the
WG has effective dictate power over the tools used to construct specs,
however benevolent. I think it would be much better to have Tab
continue to use his github repo for active development and push
changes to the csswg repo whenever necessary.  That makes it simpler
for new spec writers and hopefully avoids hiccups introduced by
in-progress dev changes.
