We shouldn't have to, at this time in the process, spend the next
several months trying to spot the major changes that the editor
introduces without any warning or any previous discussion. What makes
things worse is that not ony are we having to deal with major
differences between the W3C and WHATWG HTML documents, but now even the
Last Call and editor's drafts of HTML5 at the W3C are significantly
different--differences not introduced through the procedure you hold so
dear.

+1 on this.
Last Call means that for every change to the "living standard",
*somebody* will need to figure out whether it needs to go to the HTML5
spec as well and make that happen (and nothing more). A "branch", so to
speak.
Until this happens, LC doesn't work for me. It's already impossible to
review the full spec; but having to watch for surprising feature
additions as we go along makes things much worse.
