Given bit rot of invisible data, it would also be nice to include a “best practice” note (either with the last example in 5.1.2 The basic syntax, or in a new segment of this covering <meta>) to recommend annotating page content if the data is already present. 38584 2 ian 2010-09-08 00:40:46 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: It's intentionally not mentioned, because of the hidden metadata problem. Apparently (according to psychology research) telling people not to do something (or rather, telling people a negative) often results in people remembering the opposite, so I'd rather not discourage it explicitly.
