This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
<meta name=bug.foo> is not valid HTML without registring bug.foo. Since these fields are only intended to be read by the script, it seems more appropriate to use data-* attributes (e.g. on the root element or the script element).
We have that: http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/bug-assist.js
I have updated the Explainer in <https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/rev/3f951ae02c0a>
What's the canonical source for bug-assist.js? I want to get rid of the <meta> stuff in WebVTT, and http://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/explainer/bug-assist.js is what I can find.

You can steal it from there. There is currently no canonical version that I know of, people just copy it. I plan to incorporate the functionality into: https://github.com/darobin/specstatic but at this point that's on standby until I have a day or two's time to hack.
OK, thanks Robin!
