Re: HTML6

I’m intrigued by what this proposal does really add to (X)HTML. To me, it seems you can simply use it already as a valid XHTML document (using a custom namespace and eventually with an XSL stylesheet to convert <media type="..."> & <link type="..." /> into <img />, <video />, <audio /> and <script /> where needed). But maybe I’m wrong.

You should first rename it to something other than HTML6. Whatever HTML6 will be, it will be defined by the W3C. I would suggest you rename your proposal to something like "Semantic markup extensions for HTML5", etc.
