I disagree : what is foolhardy is to design /browsers/ around the assumption that all authors will be domain-experts in HTML. The problem (IMHO) is that the HTML 5 project is setting out to design both a language (well, a dialect really) /and/ to define browser behaviour within a single specification. As a result, it is frequently unclear whether a suggestion is aimed at the language definition or at the browser behaviour specification. Both are equally important, but tolerance in the latter does not imply (or require) lack of rigour in the former. Philip Taylor
