Personally I think the whole discussion about if HTML5 started from scratch or started from HTML4 is a red herring. The only point where I've heard the issue come up is in regards to if some features, like @summary and @profile, were "removed" or if they were "not added". Which seems like a to-may-to/to-mah-to discussion to me. Can anybody show where it makes a difference how we arrived at the current HTML5 draft from hixie? / Jonas
