Description Steffen Meschkat 2014-03-26 10:56:22 UTC 
"HTML has a wide number of extensibility mechanisms"

1) I think a number is "large" rather than "wide."

2) It doesn't matter whether the number is large or small; it's relative anyway. Shorter to omit altogether and write:

"HTML has extension mechanisms [...]"
Comment 1 Philippe Le Hegaret 2015-07-08 17:37:12 UTC 
The spec now says:
 "HTML has a wide array of extensibility mechanisms that can be used for adding semantics in a safe manner"
