What I'm looking for is a combination of specs (HTML5 + extensions) under which documents using this do not become non-conforming. As with other less-frequently used features of HTML4, I'm open to deprecating/replacing them, but if we do so there should be a transition period allowing migration to something else. (This is related to Shelley's new issue "obsconf" (106), and the general discussion about conformance criteria. Best regards, Julian
