Description Michael[tm] Smith 2009-04-22 05:18:30 UTC 
There are a couple of very useful tables in the main section of the spec that
documents the <input> element: one table listing details about <input> keywords
and states, and one listing details about which attributes and methods can be
used with which particular states.

It would be useful if those tables could be directly referenced/linked to using
URLs with fragment IDs. So maybe either:

  1. put the tables into titled subsections of their own; or
  2. add titles/<caption>s to the tables; or
  3. add IDs to the tables themselves

Wrapping each table in a titled subsections of it own would seem to me best, since that will also cause them to appear in the TOC.

Added id=""s. I couldn't work out how to make sections work while still being consistent with the spec's writing style.
