Do you have any suggestions for what these tables should look like? I'm not sure how best to present this information.

A table with three columns would work: category, elements, exceptions.

For instance, the "flow content" category would have "Flow Content", followed by:

a abbr address area article aside audio b bdo blockquote br button canvas cite code command datalist del details dfn div dl em embed fieldset figure footer form h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 header hgroup hr i iframe img input ins kbd keygen label link map mark math menu meta  meter nav noscript object ol output p pre progress q ruby samp script section select small span strong style sub sup svg table textarea time ul var video text

Followed by:

area (only when a descendent of the map property), link (only when the itemprop property is present), style (only when the scoped property is present).

I chose Flow Content to illustrate, because it is complex, but most of the sections are limited to a few elements, and table presentation would be helpful (imho).

Checked in as WHATWG revision r4797.
Check-in comment: First crack at an index table for the categories. If you have any ideas of how better to arrange this, please let me know.
