I am still formulating my thoughts of the Design Principles document. I just wish to share an observation. I am curious as to why is there such a bloat amongst the design principles for HTML 5? The design principles documents for HTML 4 seems remarkably precise, and sensible. The XHTML 2 design aims also seem to be brief and concise. Why are the HTML 5 principles so verbose? Can the principles themselves "Avoid Needless Complexity"? Josh [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/intro/h4desgn.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/introduction.html#aims
