thanks Alex, one note, it's currently only in the spec for review (such as what
has been occurring) and not 'into law'. the bug has not yet been resolved. If
the bug gets resolved and any WG member feels it needs to be revisited, they
can escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group,For more details, see
