OK, I hereby volunteer to be the editor of the specification

I'm serious -- where do I sign up, and when can I get editing rights?
You already have editing rights. Just start writing. You don't have
to ask
anyone's permission. There is plenty of precedent for this; when a
spec of
sufficient quality comes up that replaces a section of the HTML5
spec, I
remove the text in HTML5 and instead point (if appropriate) to the new
text. This has happened with XMLHttpRequest, the Selectors API, Window
(which was later remerged in), the URL parsing and resolving
sections, the
Content Sniffing section, and for a number of other documents that I
still
edit (Web Socket API, Web Socket Protocol, Web Storage, Server-sent
Events, and Web Workers).
I know this is from a separate conversation, but I ask because it is
relevant to me in the context of Web Storage. Would it be possible to
edit the Web Storage API draft to include the proposed [1]
programmable HTTP cache [2] in it?
I suppose the precedent is commit-then-review. Is that practice
relevant in this case? What software and configuration do I need to
commit?
