Thanks. Re the questions and comments:
* I will send a revised file with the fixed width issues fixed * As I understand the WHATWG question, there are two distinct issues (1) whether to reference a commit and (2) whether to reference fragments. I'm OK with referencing a commit like this if that's what you agreed with WHATWG, but I read this text as saying not to reference fragments unless we ensure that the anchor is permanent https://whatwg.org/working-mode#anchors. Have we done so for this one? -Ekr On Tue, Dec 2, 2025 at 6:58 AM Madison Church <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Authors, > > This is a friendly weekly reminder that we await answers to the followup > questions/comments below and your review of the document before continuing > with the publication process.
