FWIW, this has been discussed before in the WG, with folks such as myself and Roy Fielding saying basically the same thing. "HTML 5" right now is basically 80% "browser implementer guide", and 20% specification, and those should be separate things for the reasons you give. There was no consensus on this though, so no action was taken. e.g. see this thread (and its predecessor); http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Nov/0430.html Mark.
