The whole idea is that registry will gave more "special" status to selected
applicable specifications -- their attributes will be recognized as conforming
in HTML5 and there will be one place where such extensions to core HTML5
attributes could be found.

If you think that it makes sense and life of validator developers easier, then
we can require that registry will contain RELAX NG schema for additional
attributes. But that would be little bit strange given that there is no
official schema for core HTML5.
