Thanks for the feedback!
i addressed some. I aim to address all of them but some are hard to fix
instantly.

I've heard complains about the readability of the current import draft,
and I think the best way to improve it, if we all take some time and point
out the parts that could benefit from some polishing. Instead of filing a
dozen of tiny bugs, I just went through the spec. again and took some
notes. Some of these nits are just personal opinion, so I don't expect all
of them to be addressed but I guess it helps if I mention them. I'm not a
native English speaker so I have not tried fixing grammar mistakes.
- import referrer section does not reflect the fact that there can be more
referrer for an import (the referrer - one of the referrers)
Added some explanation to clarify, amend some working around that.
- for master document might be easier defined as the one and only root
node of the import graph
Right. re-done in this way.
- what's up with the defaultView these days? is it shared? is it null? is
it decided?
Updated to make it null. there is no rational way to explain it being
non-null. Closed https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23170.
- imported documents don't have a browsing context - isn't it more
precise that it's using the master documents browsing context?
Maybe. I'm wondering what is the best way to clarify that the import isn't
rendered. That is the section meant to say.
I agree that it isn't clear what it implies. Filed a bug for that.

- import dependent is used before defined
Reordered some definition to avoid this.
- import parent/ancestor : I would define parent first and then extend it
to ancestor. also worth mentioning that the import link list are the sub
imports list for clarification
This makes sense. Rewrote the sentence in this way.
- it's extremly hard to see that script execution order is really defined,
even when I know how it is defined... figuring it out from the current spec
without any prior knowledge is... challanging to say the least. I think a
detailed walk through on the graph would be a HUGE help. By that I mean
explicitly defining the execution order for the example, and also maybe
illustrating at some stages, what is blocking what.
I agree that this is hard to see what should happen. As the script
execution is defined as a part of HTML parsing, it isn't trivial to define
import-specific part in isolated, clear way. As you mentioned, giving some
more example-driven informal illustration would be worth having here. Filed
a bug for tracking this:

- missing link to 'simple event'
Added a link.
