Authoring requirements are made as those are necessary for both conformance checkers and authoring tools. I would expect people to extract those and create tutorials for various kind of audiences (coming from HTML4, coming from XML, no experience, etc.). > Something like the elements/attributes tables of HTML4.01 is enough, > it just needs to be there somewhere. I agree that the specification should have appendices listing those. I would expect this to happen when the specification is mostly done though, not directly. For now Simon Pieters is maintaining this page: http://simon.html5.org/html5-elements (It lists all elements and attributes.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
