    <thetext>EDITOR&apos;S RESPONSE: This is an Editor&apos;s Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: It seems pretty clear already. There&apos;s only a few paragraphs that apply to only one or the other, and they are already marked up with class=impl, so they get hidden when in author mode.</thetext>

    <thetext>The bug-triage sub-team thinks this is important, but does not require the attention of the whole task force as the ARIA mapping sub-team is able to deal with it and take the appropriate steps.

@Ian, we believe it&apos;s a matter of invisible meta information: in this regard classes are like @summary. Headings provide a clear structure that is accessible for screenreaders and visible for all users, therefore they are preferable. Classes are machine readable, and filters provide viewing modes, but they are no alternatives to structure.</thetext>
