WebApps has a relatively long history of giving Editors quite a bit of

Travis has done as anything "different". (BTW, this is codified in Webapps'
Work Mode document <http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WorkMode#Editors>.)
If there are any technical issues with the spec, please do raise them on the
list and/or create bugs.
I think if you plan to reinstate features planned for removal or add
dependencies on specifications thought obsolete you ought to have at
least brought that up for discussion with the WG. Substantial changes
to drafts should have some kind of trail, even if it's the editor
filing a bug or emailing the list post commit.
Yes, I agree and I just updated that section accordingly.
All, and Editor's in particular, please note:
[[
<http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/WorkMode#Editors>
Editors in this Working Group have wide freedom to update (add, change,
delete) text in Editor's Drafts without explicit consensus from the
group. This method is referred to as Edit First and Review Later and is
contrary to other WGs that follow a Review First and Edit Later editing
model. Despite this policy, when a substantive change is made to a
specification (for example, adding or removing a featured, adding a
normative reference, etc.), Editors are expected to create a paper trail
for the change such as creating a bug report and/or notifying the
appropriate e-mail list.
