RE: Draft [URL] reference update to informative text

The normative reference policy is a set of considerations for the director. In the meeting, with the director present, they were considered.

In particular, we discussed how the coupling between HTML and URL is simple and well-factored enough that the benefits of referencing the Living Standard outweighed other considerations.

I refer you to the normative reference policy.  :)  I'm really not trying to cycle this argument over and over, but this is a major change to a policy and the W3C's way of working, and it should be treated as such; not a disagreement about one simple, relatively non-contentious reference.

My understanding of the TAG's position based on our discussion at the last meeting is we would prefer to just reference https://url.spec.whatwg.org/.


That's an unstable reference.
