The problem is that concepts such "origin" and determining the

In some cases, it may be possible to copy the current definition. In
other cases, it may be possible just not to depend on it (for instance,
by not specifying encoding sniffing).
I don't have an opinion on the exact issue here, but as a general rule I
recommend against making decisions based on the political status (rather
than technical status) of working groups and specs. Otherwise we just end
Not sure what this means.
My understanding was that XHR1 is an intermediate step (documenting the
current state, and trying to make it more interoperable), while XHR2
would contain something that is really good.
If this is the case, it's totally pointless to let XHR1 have normative
references on something that won't be finished for a long time.
