I feel that it would be more semantically appropriate to utilize a new form "field" element for marking up form controls and to differentiate them from other, regular paragraphs. For example: <form> <field> <label>Name</label> <input /> </field> </form> This would also make the "fieldset" more applicable, as it could now actually be a set of fields. 107568 1 robin 2014-06-10 08:22:19 +0000 An interesting notion, but not for "CR". 107589 2 email 2014-06-10 14:32:01 +0000 (In reply to Robin Berjon from comment #1) > An interesting notion, but not for "CR". Thanks, this was my first suggestion, and was a bit confused by the process of submitting it. Is there a way to get this out of "CR" and into whatever the correct spot is so that it can be considered? 107590 3 robin 2014-06-10 14:54:22 +0000 (In reply to email from comment #2) > (In reply to Robin Berjon from comment #1) > > An interesting notion, but not for "CR". > > Thanks, this was my first suggestion, and was a bit confused by the process > of submitting it.

Yes, don't worry, the confusion is entirely our fault and I've moved your bug to the right place! 107591 4 robin 2014-06-10 14:54:59 +0000 (In reply to email from comment #2) > (In reply to Robin Berjon from comment #1) > > An interesting notion, but not for "CR". > > Thanks, this was my first suggestion, and was a bit confused by the process > of submitting it.

Our current guidelines, rather than track such requests as bugs or issues, is to create a proposal for the desired behavior, or at least a sketch of what is wanted (much of which is probably contained in this bug), and start the discussion/proposal in the WICG (https://www.w3.org/community/wicg/). As your idea gains interest and momentum, it may be brought back into HTML through the Intent to Migrate process (https://wicg.github.io/admin/intent-to-migrate.html).
