The note is there because Joe requested that I not update the IETF copy as 
often as the WHATWG copy. I need implementors looking at the latest 
version of the draft. I don't really mind if they look at the HTML copy on 
the WHATWG site (part of the Web Apps 1.0 draft), the text copy on the 
WHATWG site, or the text copy on the IETF site, so long as what they look 
at is up to date. Should I resume sending updates to the IETF draft as I 
make them?

Is there a reference anywhere that explains how to get an account there? 
I'd be happy to update my scripts to also upload a copy there. If we can 
host the latest copy of the spec there I'm more than happy to change the 
link in the note at the top to point to that draft instead, if that would 
make everyone at the IETF less nervous.

For why?
