Day 32 of 100DaysOfSpec, Semantics, structure, and APIs of HTML documents

I do not speak on behalf of my employer, and thus no comments should be taken as representative of Microsoft's official opinion of the spec. Subsections not listed below were read without comment.

- Domain
- Referrer
- Cookie(s)
- lastModified
- readyState
