I think this is the heart of the debate, and I am somewhat glad we are getting to this point. Obviously, we disagree. XML would be a failure if declarative features would not be important to website owners. Regardless of whether we agree or not, please recall that a certain amount of W3C members consider the endless co-existence of an imperative HTML world together with a declarative XML world as suboptimal and would like to see a them grow together over time. This is what Dave, myself and others are trying to do. OTOH, Ian, Anne, yourself and others do not see them growing together over time as a goal, and are fine for HTML5 and subsequent versions to diverge from the rest of the more declarative XML stack of the W3C forever. - Sebastian
