Has the HTML WG really made the same commitment to Microdata? Microdata was a *feature* of HTML in the recent HTML5 WD, but was not published as a WD in its own right. If publishing a WD commits us to retaining every feature of it, then I guess <dialog> will be making a comeback? Splitting out Microdata as a separate WD would actually secure its place in the HTML5 WG's work, committing us to taking it to Rec or Note status (eventually). Until that happens (and based on my, admittedly limited understanding of the W3C process) the HTML WG has made no commitment to keep Microdata. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
