I submitted a formal objection in June[2], with follow up emails[3][4].
Please record these in the Formal Objection Tracker.
Thank you.

I am having trouble finding a way to treat this as a formal objection.
Per the W3C Process[1] "In the W3C process, an individual may register
a Formal Objection to a decision". This is a problem as I have yet to
find any record that indicates that the Working Group has decided to
include references to the WHATWG in the specification of HTML5.
The path I would recommend is to open a bug report. If the resolution
of that bug report does not resolve your concern, the bug can be
marked with a TrackerRequest, and that will[6] result in a decision
(even if only a declaration of Amicable Consensus) which CAN be
appealed. Furthermore, once an issue is raised, a link to the issue
itself in the relevant section(s) can be requested.
However, you yourself acknowledged that what I presented at the time was
a Formal Objection[1], based on the fact that the group made a decision
to continue with the publication of the next heartbeat document even
though the document still referenced WhatWG documents.
