For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Yeah, what Tab says. I actually agree with the original commenter, and indeed the spec originally just had item="..." and you didn't need to give a value and all was well, but authors in the study uniformly found it confusing and found it much simpler when we simply had them use the two attributes separately instead. 52929 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:05:25 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
