Most of the discussions on this list seem to be echoing similar topics tackled by WHAT WG's HTML 5 spec... so it not clear me to now that a W3C developed "HTML 6" would be *vastly* different than HTML 5. Thanks for pulling this proposal together Maciej, I've been hoping for a possible resolution to this issue. Shawn
