Re: The details element

Hi Luiz,

The subsection on the details element in the Rendering section of the spec
provides some information related to your questions -

  http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/rendering.html#the-details-element-0

That currently doesn't say anything about what the behavior should be for a
click on the contents of the summary element. It just describes what the
expected behavior is if you activate the associated "disclosure widget"
(triangle). As far as your questions about the disclosure widget: the
Rendering section seems to make it clear that it should be rendered by
default, and it does not define any means for changing or removing it --
but I think that's to be expected, since it's consistent with the handling
of similar things like form controls.

As far as your question about the event, the spec currently doesn't define
any event behavior associated with the details element. If you think it
should, you might want to file a bug explaining why:
