I think there is sme confusion here. As I understood it, Chetz was talking about elements which are not in the HTML 4.0 spec. Now I think I misread it, and you meant things like LONGDESC. It is known how to use those, but generally they are only implemented in latest-release or specialty browsers.

I'm not sure that link to discussions would be useful on their own - it might just confuse people further. Perhaps the Techniques could indicate that these tags are new and that it is not yet known how they should be used, in addition to links to specific discussions. Then authors would hopefully be clear what the current situation is.
