XML5

Hi,

As I've said before, I'll try and help with drafting some text for the  
specification, but I don't have time, yet (all the coursework for  
school is due in the next week). Hopefully over the summer :)

However, one thing I would like to see is that it be possible to use  
an XML 1 parser for everything after the input stream, and only use an  
actual XML 5 parser if that throws a fatal error. Why would I want to  
that? In a language like PHP, trying to parse something in userland  
code is insanely slow: using the built-in copy of libxml2 is far  
quicker (purely as it is written in C and not PHP). Only having to use  
the slow parser when absolutely needed would be nice.

Oh, and could you (from trunk) `svn ps svn:mime-type text/html  
specification/Overview.html` (and commit)? This would make Apache  
serve the file as text/html, allowing it to be read in a browser :).
