Not obviously. It took me quite a while to find any novel information among the blank/template pages... http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/AddedAttributePing It seems likely that one justification will apply to multiple attributes/elements; organizing the justification as design principles and requirements (and perhaps use cases) makes more sense to me at this point. I don't like to invest much in templates/frameworks until *after* it is shown to work well several examples. I find the examples in ProposedDesignPrinciples such this one pretty appealing: "Don't Reinvent The Wheel ... Example: contenteditable= was already used and implemented by user agents. No need to invent a new feature." -- http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ProposedDesignPrinciples An index into the design principles/requirements by attribute/element is perhaps worthwhile. I'm open to various organizational structures at this point. But let's not make empty template pages. They just clutter things up. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
