Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-03-13 06:36:34 UTC 
We should specify a convention for preventing vendor-specific non-standard extensions from clashing with themselves and future standard development, similar to CSS vendor-specific extensions.
Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2010-03-14 12:15:46 UTC 
Is this about element names, or attribute names, or both, or neither?
