Description
What type of issue is this?
Missing specification link (no spec_url property)
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
execCommand is currently marked as standard but has no spec_url. It has a draft thing at https://w3c.github.io/editing/docs/execCommand/, which is the best form of standardization we have (I think it's at least the same formalization as the Console spec).
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
No response
What did you expect to see?
We should either fully admit its non-standardization or add the spec_url, because it's currently inconsistent
Did you test this? If so, how?
