There's a run-on sentence:

  The LinkStyle interface must also be implemented by this element, the
  styling processing model defines how.

-- http://www.whatwg.org/html5#htmlstyleelement

(Changing the comma to a semicolon would fix it.)

That applies to this bit too:

  Conformance checkers must use the information given on the WHATWG Wiki
  PragmaExtensions page to establish if a value not explicitly defined
  in this specification is allowed or not.

Also, the above sentence isn't marked up as an implementation
requirement.

[whatwg] ThePirateBay.org take advantage of HTML5's

[Sam Arthur Allen]

Word just came in from TorrentFreak that ThePirateBay.org have been 
working on a streaming video website for countless months that takes 
advantage of the free media formats OGG, Theora and Vorbis.


While filesharing in itself is a controversial subject, this will place 
HTML5's  and  tag--and more importantly the OGG 
Theora+Vorbis multimedia format--in the spotlight of countless people.


This is also convenient for FireFox (and GNU IceCat) as the new point 
release version is getting closer to its official public release.


Congratulations to ThePirateBay.org team for making this possible.
