Re: CfC: LCWD of HTML Templates; deadline June 18

Hey Robin,

Thanks so much for doing the integration work. I will get out my fine
tooth comb post haste. It's exciting to see the template element in
the HTML spec.

One thing that strikes me immediately that I'm a tad concerned with is
the use of the name "HTML Templating" vs the original "HTML
Templates".

I realize this is nit-picking a bit, but I'm worried that "templating"
already means something very specific for most web developers and the
HTML Template Element is only (at present) meant to a be a *part* of
that -- not an actual templating system.

I know that "HTML Templates" will still cause similar confusion, but
at least "template" has an actual english definition which is fitting
for the current feature, where as "templating" is more of a common
description for a development pattern.

Feel free to tell me I'm nuts =-). I'd just like to be honest about the feature.
