Posted from: 94.196.128.212 32334 1 ian 2010-02-18 03:20:42 +0000 I'm assuming you meant this list: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#optional-tags EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Good thought, but I think it would be too confusing to have </figcaption> be optional only at the end of the <figure>. In general we're trying to not introduce any new optional end tags, anyway.
