Ian, Yves,
Please explain why W3C staff insist the following information (that some WebApps consider
"substantive") in the DOM Parsing and Serialization ED must be removed from the
document before it can be published as a Technical Report (and please provide the URL of
the relevant `process doc/rules` that substantiates your rationale):
Hi Art,
It comes as news to me that some in WebApps consider the placement of that
information substantive. You have asked for published guidance for these
references, which I will provide.
Ian

Even worse is the removal of the reference to the source
specification, given that you know that this is a contentious
subject in this WG.
Both Travis and I supported keeping that information in the
boilerplate. The W3C Staff told us it must be removed before the
LC could be published as at TR. (FYI, I filed a related Issue
against the TR publication rules
<https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/71>. I think
the public-w3process list is an appropriate place to discuss the
Consortium's publication rules.)
If that's the requirement from the Team to publish as TR, then I object to
publishing as a TR until the requirements are fixed. If and when the
publishing rules are fixed then we can consider proceeding again.
The spec text as currently exists is actively harmful since it forks the living
standard without even having a reference to it.
