I'll offer to write up alternate change proposals for all these issues. They will propose "zero edits" and provide a rationale for why I believe that is the right path forward. However if I recall correctly, Tab Atkins has already offered to write a "zero edits" proposal for the @hidden attribute. If he still prefers to do this I'm fine with leaving that attribute out of my proposals. > During discussion of these proposals, very similar arguments have been > mustered for and against the submitted proposals.

I'll note that the argument for removing <progress> and <meter> seems to be somewhat different and be based around the fact that they are currently hard to style. So possibly keeping those separate would make sense. / Jonas
