Should we x-link base concepts to the Infra Standard?

Thinking of things such as sets, lists, etc.

I think that only really makes sense if it helps people understand the standard better, not if it clutters it more.

We could also just have a one liner somewhere that references https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/ and specifically mentions that sets, lists, etc, used in the spec are defined there.

I see this as a nice to have, but not a high priority. Cross-linking helps make sure everyone is on the same page about what basic operations and concepts mean, and that everyone is using the same terms.

Stuff in https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#conventions is also clarifying, although it doesn't require cross-linking.

There's also some work to be done here for strings and IDL's concepts there, but that's not quite ready yet: whatwg/infra#1. #236 is also related.

Oh, string. Yes. I was going to defer asking about this. :D

Totally agree wrt to priority.

We've started doing this when we write new content or update existing one. No point keeping this issue open.
