Yes.

Ideally, send a mail message to the html-ig with

1. "Revision comments" -- short description of the change, and, if
necessary, motivation for the change.

2. Diffs or replacement versions of the HTML source.

3. Test cases -- a few short (but complete) examples that exemplify
the distinction you're trying to make. This isn't too critical right
now, but when implementors start taking this spec and implementing it,
they might not read every word, but they'll much more likely notice
failed test cases.
