This is bad, because setting a boolean attribute to "false" means setting it to true. Please use a different term, e.g. "flag attribute" (credit: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20100104#l-218). 30919 1 ian 2010-01-11 11:42:21 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
