[wbs] response to 'ISSUE-91: Removing the aside Element - Straw Poll for Objections'

The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'ISSUE-91:
Removing the aside Element - Straw Poll for Objections' (HTML Working
Group) for Krzysztof Maczyński.



---------------------------------
Objections to the Change Proposal to Remove the aide Element
----
We have a Change Proposal to remove the aside element. If you have strong
objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections
below.  Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite
someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately
addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it.
Objections: 
Authors as well as semantically oriented editors and tools tend to imitate
this element in markup. While it may and in some cases will compete with
other quite general purpose containers, that's the nature of markup
languages with semantics and usage defined descriptively (rather than
prescriptively). Users of HTML just need to deal with it and learn to
benefit from it.




---------------------------------
Objections to the Change Proposal to Keep New Elements and Attributes
----
We have a Change Proposal to keep several newly-introduced semantic
elements, attributes, and controls. If you have strong objections to
adopting this Change Proposal specifically with respect to the aside
element, please state your objections below.  Keep in mind, you must
actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that
your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then
it is not necessary to repeat it.
Objections:
