It is rather different from this document. Look, even in the abstract of your document it says "provides some of the rationale for the changes." That Wiki has no official standing and it's not part of any legally recognized organization or consortium. I'm not going to go and add stuff to some random Wiki when there is a perfectly good document, which you are editing, from a reputable and internationally recognized institution: the W3C. If the WHATWG was to incorporate or become a real consortium or non-profit organization, then I'd be happy to submit my input there. However, until that time, the WHATWG has little credibility and I will continue to submit my comments here. Again, please provide the rationale for the differences between HTML4 and HTML5 in this document. 47437 1 zcorpan 2011-04-14 14:56:40 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
