That is just one topic amongst potentially several that I would like to discuss (but there is no rush). In general, I am interested in features that EPUB adds that aren't available on the vanilla "browser" web. I believe that those should provide use cases for additions to HTML. (Note that I'm not saying that HTML should just import them as is — but I do think that we should strive for convergence and I want to help with that.) Concerning @role, I started discussing the potential usage of it from EPUB types. The first questions I received were about how much this was implemented in actual readers, i.e. how actual implementations change their behaviour (compared to an unmodified HTML engine) based on these types. If you have any way in which I could easily find such information, it would be most helpful. Thanks! -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
