Unless I am mis-reading the thread at which Lachlan pointed us [1], there appears to be only one objection to the proposal, from David Håsäther, who wrote : > HTML5 is meant to be backwards compatible, so this is out of the question. > > -- > David Håsäther to which Andrew asked (perfectly reasonably, IMHO) how the proposal was inconsistent with the goal of backwards compatibility. As others have already observed, complete backwards compatibility means no change at all (and hence no benefit), so I do not think you should withdraw your proposal so lightly.
