3.2. Common microsyntaxes http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#common1 This was an interesting read. Very complex, obviously not aimed at authors (particularly the common parser idioms bit, which is unfortunately the very first bit one reads). I'd like to propose this section be moved to section 8. The HTML syntax. I think it fits better there. I ignored most of the detail aimed at implementors, and it mostly made sense. I have some comments for consideration (but these are all relatively minor). 3.2.2. Boolean values http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#boolean boolean attributes would benefit from a simple example, particularly showing that the values must be lowercase: e.g. selected OR selected="selected" NOT selected="Selected" (value must be lowercase). 3.2.3.4. Ratios http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#ratios Bit surprised by all the supported denominators and slightly concerned that we might see inconsistent implementation. However, if they are supported that will be excellent, particularly for use inside <meter> elements (allowing authors to use the denominator of choice rather than specify everything %). 3.2.4.1. Specific moments in time http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#specific Wondering about the examples here. Why not stick to W3CDTF for the examples? It's good that the parsing instructions are flexible but I'd rather keep examples simple and consistent. W3CDTF: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime As you can tell, these comments are all minor. I'm happy with this section, although finding it very complex (particularly for authors).
