I request a means to use XML elements that are based on data-types that, at
least, have been validated by XSD or preferably XSD1.1. This would permit the
use of html5 or xhtml5 with the software that is based on the next generation
of medical informatics standards and many other applications.
Yours respectfully,
Robert C. Leif, Ph.D.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: If you have a private (non-browser) system that ingests HTML5 or XHTML5, you are welcome to apply a schema language or data binding mechanism of your choice to the output of the parser. In that sense, this is WORKSFORME.

If you meant adding XSD 1.1 data binding mechanisms to browsers, that's WONTFIX. Browsers do not already contain XSD capabilities and XSD is rather far off from the kind of features that browsers do provide and that are in popular demand for browsers to provide. For this reason, it doesn't make sense for HTML5 to attempt to add dependencies on XSD.
