So, perhaps Toby's proposal [1] about distributed extensibility via @profile, @class and @data-* could be of help at the experimental stage of implementing new HTML features? And with a good fallback story as well? This would also be a good test for whether the whole, new element/attribute could actually be implemented well enough in current HTML (AKA existing cowpaths versus reinventing the wheel). Example: The <time> element at an experimental stadium - implemented as a profile: <html profile="http://w3.org/html5-experimental" > <title></title> <span class="time" data-datetime="2007-10-05">October 5</span> [1] http://www.w3.org/mid/1263511821.18556.5.camel@ophelia2.g5n.co.uk -- leif halvard silli
