sorry, not sure what you mean by “without documentation”; the documentation is there in both HTML5 specs and in the other specs I think, just (sadly) some don’t find it very clear. b ut that’s what the tag was invented for

IANA says this, which I think maybe I wrote so I find it abundantly clear:

"The about:html-kind URI identifies the vocabulary of kind values in HTML specifications from W3C and WhatWG."

what does it leave unclear?
