Hear, hear. I've raised the same point at the WhatWg list -- in the
contentEditable method, some of the semantics are just plain missing
from the markup -- there is nothing that indicates how the data is
supposed to end up back on the server.

It's like an old Russian joke about posting grenade instructions in a

in the next issue."
