How HTML5 element names were decided (leemunroe.com)

I did notice the complete absence of anyone searching for "section", its semantics dont seem to really make sense.

I do wish they would just let developers specify their own tag names, can default to block level elements with no styling, and a few very popular tag names (the current tags) have specific styling


I think this is possible with XHTML5.


mso-normal made me laugh out loud. Glad it didn't make the cut.
