[CSSOM] 7.2.6 HTMLStyleElement implements LinkStyle as such, all of the (transitively reachable) interfaces of CSSOM will need to be listed in 2.2.2 Dependencies; since they are not listed in 2.2.2, I wonder if it was really the intention of the editors to establish this hard linkage to CSSOM interface types; if it was not the intention, then I would suggest moving the above normative statements into CSSOM itself, or restating in a manner that does not necessitate the logical dependency 58578 1 ian 2011-10-20 21:42:54 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
