We could make that more formal, but to date that has largely been left up to Mike Smith to decide. The W3C Validator support for HTML5 (and extensions) is marked experimental and given that we are encouraging experimentation, I don't think that there will be a problem. > Thanks for clarification, I'll stop short of per-committing Mike. Given that you have experience with the validator, I encourage you to write necessary schema for the extensions you propose. If you can't reach agreement with Mike, please bring that specific disagreement back here. > Jirka - Sam Ruby
