No, that's backwards. Nothing gets added or retained without some evidence that it's needed. Otherwise, you could use that argument to get us show why the <foo> element isn't needed, instead having the ones who asked for it explain why it is. Saying it should be included in HTML5 just because it was in HTML4 isn't good enough. However, I'm not taking sides on whether or not the headers attribute is needed. I'm just looking for evidence, and I would appreciate it you would help, instead of just trying to shift the burden onto others. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
