That does seem like the right thing to do for authoring conformance. I have a hard tim thinking of any cons for that. Of course there would still be HTML 4.0,1 HTML 4, HTML 3.2, etc. — all handled by the same HTML parser — along with HTML5. But its hard for me to think of downsides to just requiring of authors a very XML-like syntax for HTML5's non-SGML / non-XML serialization. We would still need to deal with issues of implied elements (e.g., <colgroup> and <tbody>) and perhaps some escaping issues when moving between XML and HTML5 serializations. What do other think about this proposal? Take care, Rob
