Gathering Rationales

This page lists sources where rationales relating to HTMLWG's work may be found as an aid for productive contributions in gathering them up. Currently, with a few exceptions, very little rationale has been summarised on this wiki.

Each specific rationale goes on the HTML:corresponding wiki page. When adding supporting rationale to the appropriate page, please be sure to do so in a way that the editors will pay attention to it. For instance, don't include any content on the wiki page that wasn't first posted to the public-html list.

Providing rationale is important to group progress. Please help to find why, for example, the current HTML5 feature set differs from HTML4. Specifically, why attributes and elements are absent, added or changed.

Technicalities

Note: This page is named [[RationalesGathering]] so it gets an intuitive position in alphabetical indices. "Gathering Rationales" is probably a better name when talking or typing to people.
