Current HTML issues & ideas in incubation

Hello HTML,

We have 104 issues open against the HTML spec [1]. Your comments and 
contributions (including PRs) are welcome, and always appreciated.

issues we'd particularly welcome your help discussing and resolving. 
These include:

We have 38 issues tagged with the "needs tests" label [3]. If you can 
help write tests to demonstrate browser support, your help would be 
welcome. These include:

#255 Can HTML mail be exempt from using <doctype> (and get no quirks 
rendering)?
https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/255

#254 Determine rendering for @srcdoc docs with quirks-mode doctype

attribute) bidi-isolated by default

New ideas for HTML (and other specifications) are discussed in the WICG 
Discourse forum [4]. Your comments are helpful in gauging whether there 
is enough interest in an idea for it to move forward through incubation.
