This sounds like an excellent opportunity for awesome Web developer head-scratchers. :DG< On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 1:01 AM, Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com> wrote: > On Thu, 31 May 2012 22:56:07 +0200, Alex Mogilevsky <alexmog@microsoft.com> > wrote: >> >> See http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#collections >> My understanding of HTML conventions is that if collection is an attribute >> it must be live.
