Isn't that a very different question, Sam ? There are (at least) two very different issues which we as a group need to address : (1) which elements and attributes should appear in HTML 5 (and what are their semantics), and (2) what should be the behaviour of a user agent when presented with a putative HTML 5 document that contains elements and/or attributes that do not appear in the HTML 5 specification. Your version of the question is closer to (2), whereas I was seeking to clarify (1) first. Would you agree that we do not need to agree an answer to (2) at this stage, and (supplementary) that it is not currently within our remit to define the behaviour of an HTML 5 validator ? ** Phil. -------- Sam Ruby wrote: > > Philip & Le Khanh wrote: >> >> 1) Do you agree that HTML 5 should include all the elements >> and attributes currently allowed in HTML 4.01 Strict ? > > An alternative phrasing which will likely get quite different results: > > 1) Do you believe that HTML 5 conformance checkers should flag as > an error commonly used tags which are widely supported and pose > no interoperability issues? > > - Sam Ruby >
