If it's your goal to ensure that we actually do never have a PR or REC with
a normative reference to a WHATWG spec, the line of logic implied by that
statement would be a great way to help achieve that.
(Huh? I'm on record for the opposite.)
If Hallvord and the other editors of the W3C XHR spec want to reference the
Fetch spec, then they should reference the Fetch spec.
As such, we could do c) but with respect to helping to set realistic
expectations for spec that references such a version of XHR, I think
the XHR spec should be clear (think "Warning!"), that because of the
Fetch reference, the XHR spec might never get published beyond CR.
That's not necessary. Nor would it be helpful.
I think it is important to try to set expectations as accurately as
possible and that ignoring past history doesn't seem like a useful strategy.
