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: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: I don't want to hardcode the states for <command>s in random places because that would preclude later using the command="" attribute idea with <command>s in random places. For now the only use of <command> in random places is to define a keyboard shortcut. I've mentioned that in the spec. 40657 2 contributor 2010-10-05 21:48:29 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r5582.
