Description steve faulkner 2014-08-20 18:00:03 UTC
under "Then there are several other new elements:"

"dialog for showing a dialog."

"menuitem represents a command the user can invoke from a popup menu."

"details represents additional information or controls which the user can obtain on demand. The summary element provides its summary, legend, or caption."

the above are not in HTML5 along with the menu element, so the following needs to be removed:

"The menu element has two new attributes: type and label. They allow the element to transform into a menu as found in typical user interfaces as well as providing for context menus in conjunction with the global contextmenu attribute.

"

under "The input element's type attribute now has the following new values:"

datetime
datetime-local
month
week

these are not in HTML5

Should menu be under Obsolete elements? It's not listed as obsolete in HTML5.

I don't think that menu should be listed as obsolete since it is defined in WHATWG/5.1 and the plan is that it would get implemented and become useful. It just doesn't happen to be in the list of interoperable things at this time.
