If by "inside the document itself" you mean "inside the <body>", I don't think this is allowed unless the itemprop attribute is set, is it? There are examples in the microdata section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/microdata.html > Could also add a <link> entry providing a document icon, which is > helpful in tabbed browsers. Isn't this what rel="icon" does? http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/links.html#rel-icon It doesn't specify what UI the icon is to be used for, but HTML5 doesn't usually try to specify UI. > About 2 dozen minor Tidy warnings shown by Mozilla that could be > cleaned up. Are you sure that Tidy understands HTML5? The spec is written in HTML5, which has different syntax from earlier HTML standards. > Further, an empty string isn't > allowed as an enumeration value in XML Schema > enumeration lists, so it is not clear how to > represent it in such a context. I'm pretty sure compatibility with XML Schema is not a design goal of HTML5. There's already a validator that can validate far more than XML Schema can, though: http://html5.validator.nu > states > Element.tagName and Node.nodeName > These attributes must return element names converted to > ASCII _uppercase_, regardless of the case with which they > were created. > > and then > The canonical form of HTML markup is all-lowercase; > > also in section 3.3 APIs in HTML documents > when looking at HTML elements, the argument must first be > converted to ASCII lowercase > > This seems inconsistent. Should the first _uppercase_ instead be lowercase? I don't think so. I get the behavior described in the spec, which I assume is required for historical reasons: data:text/html,<!doctype html><script>alert(document.createElement('br').tagName);</script>
