Hi Steve, 

I believe the title of the document / specification to be the most relevantly 
accurate title possible, irregardless of the inclusion of microdata. Although 
I'd be open to hear any suggestions for something better?

As for the W3C spec-author-view—I see it to really be the same as the 
specification launched today. 
I understand the differences between the two, but they're one and the same in 
my opinion… (In the real world, people have a hard enough time working out who 
the WHATWG and W3C are) 

I'd hope to port the new work over to the spec-author-view, but I do wonder why 
the two need coexist, as the spec-author-view was a project that was created by 
Hixie, Mike Smith (as far as I know). The goals of that specification and mine 
are the same, I'd worked on both too… Personally, I'd like to hear feedback 
from both Hixie and Mike on this… 

Rather than _porting_ anything, I'd be more interested in writing a global W3C 
style guide & css package that could be included by all the willing 
specification authors, to tidy the typography and generally provide a solid 
pattern library for documentation.

Thanks for your feedback, its always appreciated. I'm sure that this project is 
only really just beginning :)

Cheers, 

Ben
