Since there probably will be a DTD[1] and possibly a HTML 5.0 specification that combines the several specifications that are created right now I was thinking if some other aspects of the DTD could be upgraded as well. Things that would be nice to have for example are having the ID, CLASS and TITLE attributes "globally", as in available for every element. Currently you can't "legally" have an ID attribute on the HTML element in HTML 4.01, while you do need it in some occasions. Of course, such changes should probably not include making backwards incompatible changes, but deprecating certain attributes from the HTML table module might be an option. (Only suggesting here...) It would be nice to know what the WG thinks of this. Will the WG restrict themselves to extending Web Forms and Web Applications in HTML or will some other aspects, that are less relevant (for this WG, at least), be addressed as well?
