Some more feedback on the H:TML document: One of our devs was wondering how he could use these new elements without a clear recommended fallback plan for many of them that could potentially mess up the page layout. So, for example, how does one do proper fallback for PROGRESS, VIDEO or METER. It may take years for browsers that don't support these elements to stop being supported, and most developers will create fallback code for the older browsers. Having to come up with workarounds would be fine, because that is what he is used to doing on a weekly basis with cross-browser issues, but it would be nice if the fallback plan for each element was explained clearly to web developers (and browser manufacturers). He also said that he has no idea how to use the RUBY element, or what a "ruby annotation" was, nor how to use it correctly by looking at the H:TML document. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.2.1 Released - Video and Data Sales http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2010/01/31/bitmunk-3-2-1/
