What do you recommend?
It seems a little heavy-handed to kill it or gut it. What about
putting a big-red warning at the top that it has been merged to HTML
and no longer has normative weight.
I don't have a strong preference now and would like to hear from
others. The above do have different +/-.
I think the principle of least surprise (`follow your nose`) indicates
navigating to the ED would redirect to the HTML spec. It seems like
the worst case scenario is for the contents of the ED to be
inconsistent with HTML.
Rafael, All - having received no additional feedback and only voices of
support for publishing a WG Note, the main questions seem to be: 1)
whether the Note should be gutted (f.ex. see [1]) or not; 2) should the
ED be gutted too.
Although I agree gutting the Note would be a bit "heavy-handed" as you
say, it does eliminate the possibility of the contents being different
than HTMLWG's version. As such, I prefer gutting both the Note and the
ED and adding a prominent warning plus a link to HTML. For example,
borrowing from [1], adding something like to the Status of This Document
section:
[[
<strong>Work on this document has been discontinued and it should not be
referenced or used as a basis for implementation. The features
previously specified in this document are now specified in <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/scripting-1.html#the-template-element";>HTML5</a>.</strong>
]]
WDYT?

Hi Robin, Dimitri, All,
Since HTML Templates is now part of HTML5, to help avoid
confusion, I think WebApps' last TR of the spec
([html-templates]) should be replaced with a WG Note that
clearly indicates WebApps' work on the standalone spec has
stopped and the feature is now part of HTML5. (The Note could
also be void of any technical substance as DAP recently did
f.ex. [contacts-api]).
Dimitri, Rafael, Tony - there is also a question about the
contents of the HTML Templates [ED]. What are you planning to do
with it (delete it; remove the "guts" and link to HTML(5);
something else)?

WDYT? Any objections?
(If we agree to publish a WG Note, I'll create it).
