This should help stop people from using data-* for standards that build atop HTML. 94045 1 travil 2013-09-30 22:00:04 +0000 Robin, do you really think this blocks CR? Or can we wait on this till 5.1? 94046 2 robin 2013-09-30 22:11:22 +0000 (In reply to Travis Leithead [MSFT] from comment #1) > Robin, do you really think this blocks CR? Or can we wait on this till 5.1? I don't think it's a long conversation. If it's no we can just drop it, if it's yes it's a small change. So it's "blocking" but it can't really block. 94316 3 travil 2013-10-04 18:18:17 +0000 Based on the discussion here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013Oct/0005.html I think this is a Won't Fix for now.
