Summary: WYSYWYG tools should gather semantic information
Product: HTML WG
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Keywords: a11y
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: HTML5 spec bugs

HTML5 says (in the section "Authoring tools and markup generators"):
"However, WYSIWYG tools are legitimate. WYSIWYG tools should use
elements they know are appropriate, and should not use elements that
they do not know to be appropriate. This might in certain extreme cases
mean limiting the use of flow elements to just a few elements, like div,
b, i, and span and making liberal use of the style attribute."
AUWG Comment:
Suggest stating that WYSIWYG tools may need to make a special effort to
gather semantic information, rather than describing exceptions for
"extreme cases".
