If you consider this to be a problem, note that this problem also applies to the existing method of extensibility suggested by the HTML5 draft (i.e. extensibility by becoming an "applicable specification"). The advantage that my DE proposal has over "applicable specification extensibility" are: scoped URI-based opt-in; and well-established fallback parsing, behaviour and rendering. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
