Re: error.badfetch on non existent root document (bis)

    Hi Arnaud,

I am not member of WBWG, so my answer is only a guess. I also waited for 
an authorized answer and therefore haven't reacted on your first attempt.

The transition is caused by <goto> or <submit>, etc, therefore I would 
apply the rules for these tags (which should be the same for all of 
them). For <goto>, spec says:
"Note that for errors which occur during a dialog or document 
transition, the scope in which errors are handled is platform specific."

In my opinion this possibility is more logical.

> - in doc2.vxml, which means that current document has to be initialized before getting and initializing the root document.

> I think this is the same issue with the following assertion in chapter 1.5.2:

I think it would be valuable to mention the citation above also in the 
chapter one.
