So it sounds there are two specific follow-ups here:

1) As we'd still like to fix the site - it would be nice to outreach to Google Glass site and suggest fixing this pattern. Tab, can you help with this, or should we go with normal Microsoft outreach process (either would work)?

2) we assume the spec intent is correct per WG comments and I'll add supporting this to IE backlog.
