Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-10-30 22:15:49 UTC

Comment 2 contributor 2012-10-30 22:16:03 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7490.
Check-in comment: Use some new predefined terms for common character ranges.

Thanks for the hint! I'm staging it for HTML.next , which gives us time to sort any potential issues.
