Hi David, thanks for insight. Could you please point me to the clause
that allows this, I wasn't able to find?

Also there will be problem with such approach when page is going to be
validated. Normal HTML5 validator would refuse page with its-
attributes. Shouldn't be conformance criteria lifted then and allow any
attribute named prefix-* (except aria- which can be checked more
rigorously)?
