Re: suggestion of new element and attribute `greyarea`

While I appreciate your opinion about issues of guarding content from those
who may find certain material offensive, I don't believe that control over
the display of that content should be considered in the HTML5 space itself.
I have serious reservations about who would set and enforce the policies on
specific types of content. To that end I believe, currently, that whether
to guard or censor those materials should remain within the scope of the
many available tools for that purpose.

Best to you and yours,

John
