[whatwg] One document or two?

[Nicholas Shanks]

Various people have expressed opinions in favour of either one spec to rule them all, or two specs for different audiences. Is not the simplest solution to have two views upon the same spec?

HTML 5, Full Version (User Agent Edition)



HTML 5, Abridged Version (Web Author Edition)
"<foo> is deprecated and should not be used."






- Nicholas.

"<foo> is deprecated and should not be used, but you have to support it anyway." You can even have them at the same URL, with a pair of radio buttons to toggle between them (which just toggles display: none on a class to hide the unnecessary info: "&lt;foo> is deprecated and should not be used<span class="full">, but you have to support it anyway</span>.") Since I anticipate 99% or more of people who will read the document will be HTML authors finding out about the new spec, Abridged should probably be the default view.
