We should include iOS and Android mappings for all HTML elements too. On iOS, Apple's WebKit implementation is the only one allowed to display web content - alternative web browsers based on a different engine are not currently allowed. Still, I think it'd be useful to spec for several reasons: * To help catch bugs in Apple's implementation * To clarify the expected mappings and behavior for HTML authors, especially app authors who need native content and web content to interoperate * In case Apple relaxes the rules in the future and allows alternative web implementations
