However, it does not define what a "hand-authored" page is, and the definition of that term is not obvious. 70223 1 contributor 2012-07-18 07:10:31 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17876 as part of operation convergence. 74032 2 robin 2012-09-18 12:27:31 +0000 I can't find this in the spec — is it still open? 74034 3 faulkner.steve 2012-09-18 12:45:09 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > I can't find this in the spec — is it still open? think it was dealt with here https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/151feec6e34378f13edd279a0c9f7392016dfd24 74036 4 robin 2012-09-18 12:58:53 +0000 I thought that was the case, thanks Steve!

Do we want to adopt that? https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/44081c783e869419053d6618b8154ad16b483abf 74768 6 faulkner.steve 2012-09-28 09:50:50 +0000 (In reply to comment #5) > The WHATWG spec made some clarifications on the "hand-authored" text.

So there is no way to determine if some or all of the HTML has been 'hand authored'. 74805 7 silviapfeiffer1 2012-09-28 14:22:16 +0000 Note: I'm not asking for it to replace the issue-206 commit - just to add to it. Could also be further clarified.
