    <thetext>This is a spec enhancement request.

In the &quot;Content attributes&quot; for each element, provide a (non-normative) prose description of the purpose of each attribute. I&apos;d be glad to provide a spec patch to add it.

To explain what I mean: the &quot;Content attributes&quot; section for the &lt;script&gt; element currently looks like this:

-----
Content attributes:
  Global attributes
  src
  type
  charset
  async
  defer
  crossorigin
-----

...what I propose is that it be made to look like this:

-----
Content attributes:
  Global attributes
  src - address of the external script to use
  type - language of the script, or format of the data
  charset - character encoding of the external script
  async - for scripts that should be executed asynchronously
  defer - for scripts that should be executed after document parsing
  crossorigin - for other-origin scripts, whether error info is exposed
-----

Again, I&apos;m glad to contribute a spec patch that adds this for all elements.</thetext>
