RE: New element proposal for HTML.next

I’m a little concerned about locking into QR codes… there are a few other types of barcode-like links that could be leveraged (generically).

I’m also concerned about the stylistic inclusions on the element:

  *   Text
  *   href
  *   contact
  *   Calendar
  *   Size
  *   Fgcolor
  *   Bgcolor
…which seem more appropriate not to include, and rather to rely on CSS for this.

I could also see this feature be integrated into the existing A tags in HTML…

These are just my first-impressions.

Subject: New element proposal for HTML.next

Hi, All

I’d like to propose a new element <qr> for HTML.next (or future HTML)

http://bit.ly/SgXeRj


This element’s idea is for offline hyperlink connection between the mobile and the fixed device in the multi device environment.

I think there will be many issues and modification points in my proposal.
But I hope we can discuss about it and consider it in the future HTML works.

If you have any comments and suggestions, please let me know that.

Best Regards,
