The intro indicates that this spec is what "used to be" HTML5, but there are
still references to "version 5" (This specification defines version 5 of DOM
HTML) which is now more confusing than when it _was_ HTML 5 and version 5 of
the DOM. Is the DOM really still version 5 even though the spec is beyond HTML
5?

Oops, the mention of "version 5 of the DOM" was a mistake. I missed that "5" when I searched for occurrences of "HTML5"!

I've removed it. Please let me know if you find other such confusing text.
