I think it is perfectly reasonable to expect authors to enter their markup
in a TEXTAREA box with no bells and whistles. I am not against MathML math
(of course) but requiring MathML for cooking recipes is wrong.

Small-print legalese is dull, repetitive, has little to do with the actual

I'd like to propose a change to the spec for postMessage(). Currently the
spec reads:

I have a question about section 3.7.2. Under step 5, it says that it is

A guesstimate is that less than 1 out of 10 000 smart cards actually

1. keygen does not support the information/processes involved
2. current smart cards are unsuitable for on-line provisioning by end-users

Responding to Kristof Zelechovski.
I have a copy of the Constitution of the United States on my web site.
That is a legal text. It also qualifies as legalese, a derogatory term.
If I were to change it to HTML 5, the current spec encourages
me to place the entire Constitution in small elements.
While I actually defended the recommendation to use the SMALL element for
legal text, and I am still ready to do it, it is worth noting that the text
of section 4.6.6. does not contain such a recommendation. It merely states
that out of possible uses of the SMALL element, the legal use is the

Granted. However, the interface to them, HTML, is standard and

Rendering the name Aristotle in italic by itself, if not used for
