I may be missing some part of your point about parsing, but if by parser you just mean constructing a DOM, then none of those four introduces any additional parsing requirements, right? I mean, any stock HTML5 parser already handles them. Actually, I think most any existing HTML parser already should too -- e.g., the HTML parser in libxml2. As far as parsing goes, they're all just additional attributes that the parser doesn't need to have any special knowledge about. --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
