I might have missed the discussion of changing "purpose" to "meaning". Can anyone bring me up to speed on the reason for that? Whichever is used... it might need a definition if its specific beyond a dictionary. Also, it seems like that HTML 5.2 list has some "meanings" that were not in our list... do we want to widen the requirements for those additional ones listed in the spec, but not on our culled down list.
