I assume that you are trying to tell me something, but I am too dumb to 
understand it.

That section says "the innerHTML DOM attribute of all HTMLElement and 
HTMLDocument nodes returns A SERIALISATION of the node's children using 
the HTML syntax."   [emphasis added]

A given DOM may have multiple, valid, HTML5 serializations.

I am asking whether there is interest in identifying ONE standard 
serialization that everybody who wishes to comply with could do so.
