while I am here (again) would like to clarify a few inacuricies;
<blockquote>regarding a proposed (and rejected) element</blockquote>
The proposal for an element has been rejected by hixie, it has not been rejected by the rest of the web standards community. It is fair to say that there is no consensus on the rejection or addition. In as much as hixie gets the final word on what goes into or out of 'HTML the living standard', he does not have the same vice like grip on W3C's HTML5 or what comes after. So the idea of the concept being rejected from HTML is a little premature.
<blockquote>The editor of HTML.next, Ian Hickson,</blockquote>
Ian is not the editor of HTML.next he is the editor of HTML the living standard. The W3C HTML working groups <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/charter/2012/" rel="nofollow">draft charter</a> states that the HTML WG will "continue the development of the HTML language" and whilst it will obviously take new features added to HTML the living standard into account, it will not be the sole source of new features it considers for inclusion in HTML.next.
