I agree; in fact at this point I don't think anyone thinks it's a good idea. We still need a better solution for handling the two tiers of document quality, one targetting humans (who can know what they mean) and one targetting today's computers (who rarely know what humans mean), but I'm not sure what it is. One possibility I've considered is to just have two conformance levels, "conforming html5 document" and "conforming low-quality html5 document", with <font>, style="", and <div>s-containing-inlines kicking documents into the second category. Either way, the "(WYSIWYG editor)" generator flag will definitely be dropped in due course. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
