Instead of being a bonus, I believe that it was Ian's intent to specifically disallow such a use. My suggestion is to treat the current spec as a draft, and therefore subject to change. If data-* is the right approach, a change will be needed to the draft. If changes are needed, I'd suggest figuring out what the right change is, rather than being constrained by the current text. > Best wishes - Sam Ruby
