People outside the WG can read about the differences here: <http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Differences_from_HTML4> and also read about the HTML WG's starting point (or roughly our starting point) here: <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/> We're having a hard time communicating on these issues within the WG. I think once we figure out how to do that, we'll have an easier time communicating succinctly and effectively to a wider public audience. Once we get a clearer shared understanding of our design principles, I think all of this will go much more smoothly. This would include a clearer understanding about what criteria were applied in the design choices made so far. Take care, Rob
