It's much easier (though still difficult) to get implementers to change parser behaviour for new elements. It's nigh on impossible to get them to change current behaviour for legacy reasons. If you feel strongly that your proposal is worthwhile, you need to get implementers interested, The WICG is the place for raising new HTML features or substantial change to existing features. https://discourse.wicg.io/ All browser implementers are involved there. -- Regards SteveF Current Standards Work @W3C <http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2015/03/current-standards-work-at-w3c/>
