    <thetext>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The a and area elements have a new attribute called ping that
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; specifies a space-separated list of URLs which have to be pinged when
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the hyperlink is followed. Currently user tracking is mostly done
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; through redirects. This attribute allows the user agent to inform
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; users which URLs are going to be pinged as well as giving
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; privacy-conscious users a way to turn it off.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; *
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The area element, for consistency with the a and link elements,
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; now also has the hreflang and rel attributes.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; What does it do?
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; See HTML4 (well, or HTML5 if you&apos;re not familiar with HTML4).
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Put the above into the doc. Or at least link to the attributes...
&gt;&gt; though I still don&apos;t know what they do :(
&gt;
&gt; If you don&apos;t know HTML4 you should read HTML4 first. (Though really
&gt; starting with HTML5 in that case might be easier.)
&gt;
&gt; I might add links later when everything is stable and the moon looks funny.

A criteria for making fixes when &quot;the moon looks funny&quot; does not seem 
acceptable to me.</thetext>
