This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the latest changelog <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-diff-20121025/#changes-2012-03-29> there is a section titled "Further changes to WHATWG HTML that do not affect HTML5". If I understand this correctly, it means that the listed changes only apply to <http://whatwg.org/html>, and not to <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/> (including or excluding the separated specifications, e.g. for microdata?). Now, this section lists: > The document outline algorithm now ignores elements with the hidden attribute. However, this change seems to be noted in <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20121025/headings-and-sections.html#outlines> (while it was not in <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20120329/headings-and-sections.html#outlines>). Another change notice: > Dialogs are now supported with the dialog element, the inert global attribute and the dialog method on form. But the dialog element is specified in the current Working Draft: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20121025/commands.html#the-dialog-element> I wanted to check whether it is fxied in the Editor's Draft <http://dev.w3.org/html5/html4-differences/>, but the latest one is from 2012-10-05, while the latest Working Draft is from 2012-10-25 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-diff-20121025/>.
This is a result of the HTML WG being about a month too late to publish. The drafts were supposed to be ready on 15 September and then frozen until publication around 30 September. I complied to that with html5-diff [1], but the editors of the HTML5 spec did not. That said, I'm happy to fix the mismatch of this changelog of publication for the next publication.

Actually I see little point in fixing this now, especially since publications of this document doesn't line up with "HTML5" anymore.
