7: <details>

It seems like every Web site needs to have an expanding/collapsing
block of text. While this is easy enough to do with JavaScript or
server-side code, the <details> tag makes it even easier. It does
exactly what we’ve all been doing for years now: makes a simple block
that expands and collapses the content when the header is clicked. The
<details> tag does not have widespread support yet, but it will soon.

10: <datalist>

The <datalist> tag acts like a combo box, where the system provides a
pre-made list of suggestions, but users are free to type in their own
input as well. There are tons of possible uses for this, such as a
search box pre-populated with items based on the user’s history. This
is another one of those things that currently requires a bunch of
JavaScript (or JavaScript libraries) to handle but that can be done
natively with HTML5.

Just putting it out there that when the details one has wider spread
support in the browsers we might be able to scrub some more bits from
the webui code :)  The second one might be kewl to add to the filter,
I realize we could probably do this now too, we just dont.
