The datetime content attribute, sounds like the > datetime attribute is of content - which is not logical, and confusing. I don't see what is confusing about it. The meaning of "content attribute" and "DOM attribute" is given in the terminology section: This specification refers to both HTML and XML attributes and DOM attributes, often in the same context. When it is not clear which is being referred to, they are referred to as content attributes for HTML and XML attributes, and DOM attributes for those from the DOM. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#terminology -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
