Description Julian Reschke 2012-01-14 13:18:38 UTC
In 12.6., the template says "References" where it should say "Change Controller".

I said 12.6 and meant it. See URI: <http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#web-scheme-prefix>

The text says:

"References
    W3C"

I agree that RFC 4395 wants a "References" entry, but it's described as

      Include full citations for all referenced documents.  Registration
      templates for provisional registration may be included in an
      Internet Draft; when the documents expire or are approved for
      publication as an RFC, the registration will be updated.

I don't see how saying "W3C" addresses this.

The right thing to put here is the definition of the scheme (if there was one; but that's a separate issue).

Oh I don't use the W3C version, so using section numbers from that spec is just a waste of your time.

Not helpful. This is the W3C bug tracking system, after all.

I note that you actually *did* change the spec, so setting the resolution to "invalid" is really really misleading.
