Funny that you should mention <dl>, which we perennially complain about lacking a <di> element for grouping. ^_^ I tried to get a container element required, but didn't succeed. Turns out, in my own experiments with using <details>, that it's rather cumbersome to use one anyway. Much easier to just treat the <summary> as a type of heading for the content of <details>, which is what HTML5 now requires. > But this element is not defined that way. So if a closed <details> still showed some of its children (even text nodes), then it would be an implementation mistake too (if this was part of the UA style sheet). > > It would be better if there was an element surrounding just the part that was open. If HTML5 wasn't thoughtful enough to include one, maybe we could add it as a pseudo-element? > > details::actual-details { display:none } > details[open]::actual-details { display:block; } I agree. I don't care what the actual name is, but am fine with Anne's suggestion of ::value. ~TJ
