Fwd: [w3c/wpub] Added the pagelist entry (#339)

So this seems relevant to our discussion about data- for our personalization attributes right?

Thanks

@lrosenthol<https://github.com/lrosenthol> isn't that abusing / misusing custom data-xxx attributes?

"User agents must not derive any implementation behavior from these attributes or values. Specifications intended for user agents must not define these attributes to have any meaningful values."

"Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate attributes or elements."

"These attributes are not intended for use by software that is not known to the administrators of the site that uses the attributes. For generic extensions that are to be used by multiple independent tools, either this specification should be extended to provide the feature explicitly, or a technology like microdata should be used (with a standardized vocabulary)."

"JavaScript libraries may use the custom data attributes, as they are considered to be part of the page on which they are used."

etc.
