Copying it though violates the DRY principle and unnecessarily introduces a risk of introducing errors/changes from the spec. We should not duplicate things from other specs, we should reference them. Thus perhaps we need a required reading section where we at least list: Specifications: - HTML 4.01: http://w3.org/tr/html401 - XHTML 1.0: http://w3.org/tr/xhtml1 Alternatively, one might say that the use of rel="bookmark" for blog permalinks is worthy of documenting as an explicit example, since the HTML 4.01 spec makes no reference to blogs or permalinks.
