And to summarize that discussion: some people think the proposal goes
against the requirement for backwards compatibility, other think it's
too late to introduce it, and some think the syntax is so compelling
that the costs could be worth it.
I'm in the last category, but -- after reading the discussion -- it
seems that consensus will be out of reach for now. Let's keep it in
mind for HTML6.
