Re: Adding HTML element data

I like the idea of automating the process of populating basic data tables
from the specs.

But I do agree that in order to make this really useful, it needs to be
fully integrated with the Semantic Mediawiki properties, so that we can
generate all the cross-reference information that you can't currently get
from reading the specs themselves.

Do you have a public version of all the templates you're creating?  Have
you tried to figure out the information architecture of the properties
(e.g., which ones would need multiple values, how they all relate together
and so on)?
