The HTML5 spec should only be used to specify what is required for interoperability, nothing else. If the WG wants to recommend UI for browsers, it should do so in a seperate document, so as to not confuse what is required for interoperability. Either that, or take this up as an issue with individual browsers, because unless the implementors want to do this, the specification will be ignored. -- Andrew Sidwell
