be the multi page format version.
Thank you for your consideration.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/ already takes you to the multi-page version, not the single-page one.

If you go to http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html that means you're explicitly choosing to view the single-page version. The filename is not an indicator of anything; it could just as well be http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/SinglePageVersion.html  or http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/foo.html but it just happens to be http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/ is what we link to by default and what others who want the multi-page version should link to. If you find links to http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html somewhere on some other site or page, I suggest contacting the owner of that and asking them to change the link to http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/ instead
