W3C uses US English.

Signaled and signalled are both English terms. Signaled is predominantly used in 🇺🇸 American (US) English ( en-US ) while signalled is predominantly used in 🇬🇧 British English (used in UK/AU/NZ) ( en-GB ). (see https://sapling.ai/usage/signaled-vs-signalled)
While and whilst are the same, but whilst is a bit more formal (according to one famous grammar book). (see https://www.ielts-simon.com/ielts-help-and-english-pr/2010/11/ielts-grammar-while-whilst-whereas-as.html)
I gladly accept replacing usage by use. Note that the original text contained usage and was not edited by this PR.
Note that the rest of the proposed changes are line feeds in different places.

Typically, Brits use whilst and Americans use while.

The word “signalled” is the British spelling of the word “signaled”.
Again, W3C uses US English. In other words, the changes to "signaled" and "while" are appropriate.
And usage to use
