Re: [whatwg] List of differences between whatwg and w3c spec?
And both do not display section headers in MSIE7, making it hard to guess what you are reading about.

Presumably the generation of the drafts is automated; is the source file for the drafts published? The header is one of these (W3C, WHATWG): http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/header-w3c http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/header-whatwg This file is then appended to those headers: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/source Then they are processed through a tool that is not accessible to the general public. (gsnedders is working on a tool that does the same, is completely open, and open source.) The output is then the two links you showed above.
