Good day, Bruce. Excuse me for a long break. >> that <input type="hidden" name="a" value="b"> is particular case of >> <hidden> >> <field name="a">b</field> >> <hidden> BB> There is nothing intrinsically wrong with <input type="hidden"> BB> (1) Use a new element, say <hidden>, BB> and keep <input type="hidden"> simple name/value pairs When general case already exists, existance itself of particular case is wrong. BB> and it is well entrenched in HTML Through what rival, alternative solution it entrenched? Please, list. BB> and used on millions of pages. Abolishment means "not-recommended". BB> It is not a productive step. Why ? Compare with other items, not-recommended now. BB> (2) Use a new element, say <hidden>, and deprecate <input type="hidden"> BB> Option (2) I think is out of the question. I'd like to deprecate. It's my passion to classification and unification. BB> <head> BB> <title>Forms submission with data</title> BB> <data name="mydata">Some JSON/XML data goes in here.</data></head> BB> <body> BB> <form> BB> <input type="hidden" name="somedata" source="mydata" /> BB> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit data" /> BB> </form> BB> </body> This example is not into topic, because general line is not traceable there: content of "mydata" is not _tree of tags_.
