* Fetch: https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/

** Forked to https://w3c.github.io/dom/
** Status: still exists as an outdated snapshot (and modified in undocumented ways) with no warning, causing confusion. And has a weird rename ("DOM4") too. Editors draft has renewed forking efforts with particularly bad copy-and-paste practices.

* Notifications: https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/
** Forked to http://www.w3.org/TR/notifications/
** Status: still exists as an outdated snapshot with no warning, causing confusion. The spec model has diverged significantly in the meantime, and the outdated version is actively wrong, not just incomplete.
