The tr.rdf file (same for the W3C API) only knows about W3C specs. As such, it does not contain the information needed to fill the obsoletedBy properties of W3C specs that got superseded by WHATWG specs. When the shortname stayed the same, the data essentially moved to whatwg.json, which seems fine, but when the shortname changed in the process, the relationship gets lost in data. Main missing links:

  • cors -> fetch
  • html5 entries -> html
  • xmlhttprequest entries -> xhr

`access-control` was marked as an alias of `fetch`. That's not incorrect, but
history-wise, `access-control` is more an alias of `cors`, which got superseded
by `fetch`. That history wasn't properly recorded in the W3C database. It now
is, so W3C update script is currently stuck because it wants to add an
`access-control` entry that targets `cors`, duplicating the entry in
`biblio.json`. This update drops the entry from `biblio.json`, so that updates
may resume.

(The superseding relationship between `cors` and `fetch` is not properly
captured yet but that's orthogonal to the problem at hand, see tobie#829).
