Just small side note. I think it would help if each element will contain
not only list of "Element-specific attributes" but also list or link to
global attributes available on all elements. The current editorial style
prevents using spec as a reference guide -- and in fact that way Roy
will quickly find that name attribute is not present on <a> in HTML5.
