Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I can't quite work out how to do that while maintaining both readability, discoverability, and the clear order of things (e.g. timeouts have to go last). I mean, we could have a bunch of hooks, but then things get really complicated, so I'd rather not do that.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-02-23 06:04:14 UTC 
(Also, I don't want to make it less readable in complete.html... I think it makes more sense in all the various versions to have a list of steps here rather than have this list of steps split across multiple documents or sections, especially in the complete.html case.)
