Description Sam Ruby 2013-05-03 14:18:40 UTC 
Please make the W3C version of document link to stable sections in HTML 5.0 or HTML 5.1, as opposed to the current links to the inherently living (and therefore unstable) WHATWG standard document.  This would not apply to links that are only relevant in the WHATWG document, such as to the definition of hgroup.

Why?

> Why?

I presume that that the goal of a W3C document would be ultimately to be published (as a snapshot), and therefore would need stable links.
