RE: ACTION-350: Best practice for referring to specifications which may update

Thanks for the background; I keep on coming up with places where the almost decade-old QA documents have really hashed out issues that we're reinventing.

Given there's already a W3C recommendation covering this particular use case, I'd vote for updating and republishing the QA framework rather than trying to issue a new finding in this area.

The discussion so far has been useful and perhaps we can capture it so far in.

I like Jonathan's analysis as well.
