Description Daniel Barclay 2012-03-03 16:04:09 UTC 
In Abstract:

  "This document is an automated redaction of the full HTML5 specification. 
  As such, the two documents are supposed to agree on normative matters   
  concerning Web authors."

The "as such" doesn't quite fit there--the "two documents" are not "an
automated redaction"  (only one is such a thing as an automated redaction).
Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2012-03-26 03:45:41 UTC 
The language in the abstract is verbatim text that I was asked to add by the W3 TAG. I agree it probably could be worded better but I don't think it's worth fiddling with further at this point.

If you're uncomfortable fixing text someone gave you, then pass this report
on to them so they can determine how to fix it and give you the fix to
apply.

(The wording is broken.  If it is left unfixed, it makes the document
authors and/or the review process look less than fully literate.  I really
think it should be fixed.)
