That sounds reasonable. Am I right that we seem to agree that:

1. data-* attributes should be encouraged for inpage scripts and
Javascript libraries who are not yet widely recognized

2. prefix-* attributes should be encouraged when other tools then just
Javascript code is using attributes or when such attributes are used by
widely deployed Javascript library (like AngularJS)

3. Each prefix-* should be registered by some lightweight process (e.g.
Wiki page) -- What about prefixes defined solely in Web Componets?

4. For each registered prefix-* there should be available either
applicable specification, or documentation or it should have behaviour
defined using Web Components.
