I can extract two requests.
1. Explain how authors are supposed to "comment" their <script> and
<style> elements in HTML5. (Post #171.)
Something along the following lines could be inserted as a note in the
syntax section, e.g. after the "CDATA elements can have text, ..."
paragraph:
Old browsers that don't understand the style or script elements
(introduced in HTML 3.2) will attempt render their contents. However,
the strings "<!--" and "-->" are part of the CSS syntax, and "<!--" is
equivalent to "//" in JavaScript, so authors who don't want to reveal
their style sheets or scripts to users with such browsers can simply
comment them out. [CSS21] [ECMA262]
<style>
<!--
...
-->
</style>
<script>
<!--
...
//-->
</script>
(But it is an issue though that ECMAScript 262 still doesn't define the
<!-- magic.)
2. Explain how HTML5 and XHTML5 differ in practice. (Post #187.)
e.g. something like http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/HtmlVsXhtml could be
included as a non-normative appendix to the spec, or referenced to in the
HTML vs. XHTML section, or similar.
