The problem I have with Tim's Proposal on PaceExtendingAtom is that it limits where new
attributes can appear.
I tend to agree. I see little value in the current spec language saying foreign markup can appear only here, here, and here. I don't see how it adds value since MustIgnore is easy to implement. Also, the language is incomplete because it talks only about foreign elements, not foreign attributes.
How would people react to a proposal to take these details out of the spec and lightly rewrite PaceExtendingAtom to allow "foreign" markup anywhere? I really like changes that make the spec shorter :)
