Hello folks, This proposal lists three reasons for the change. I'd like to point out that I discovered that one of them, the technical failure in IE6 and IE7, is actually invalid. The problem is about styles getting leaked to the parent. By putting the figure or details element inside a div element, the closing tag of the div effectively solves the problem. Since this div needs to exist anyway to be able to style the figure or details element (since unknown elements cannot be styled in IE), the only way this problem can occur is if the dd or dt element is styled, but the figure or details element is not. So in reality this IE bug will rarely occur, and even if it does, it is extremely easy to solve. You can read more about this at my blog (test demonstration included): http://blog.jeroenvandergun.nl/7-html5-figure-and-details-do-not-break-in-ie Please take this into consideration before changing the HTML5 specification.
