Description Julian Reschke 2010-02-17 21:59:52 UTC 
"These bugs, issues, and e-mails apply to all HTML specifications, not just this one."

This is misleading; not every spec that the HTML WG currently works on is a "HTML specification"

"...So I agree the term is not enlightening. Probably the least ambiguous thing to do is either list the three specs covered, or split the bug lists somehow."
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-02-18 22:52:53 UTC 
Would s/all HTML specifications/multiple HTML-related specifications/ work?

That's better. My preference though is to fix the underlying issue (so that every document gets it's own bugzilla product)

My suggestion: let's go with "multiple HTML-related specifications" for now to unblock publication, and in the meantime figure out how we want to handle bug-tracking for the separate documents.
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-02-23 22:25:57 UTC 
Done.
Comment 5 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-03-31 21:30:19 UTC 
marking fixed since apparently i forgot to do so when marking this "done".
