[whatwg] ad
Has there ever been a discussion about a dedicated element for ads, like ad? I’d like to review or otherwise propose the element, for at least on the surface, advertising may warrant dedicated markup. -- Jens Oliver Meiert http://meiert.com/en/ ☆ http://coderesponsibly.org/

Probably. What specific purposes would it serve?
The most obvious way of utilizing such markup, assuming it were commonly
used, would be to have
ad { display: none }
in a user style sheet. I think this suffices to show why such markup
would not be used.

Yup, that's about the size of it, and why the proposal was rejected.

That makes sense. Though I didn’t instantly think of the user style sheet one-liner ad would be begging for. -- Jens Oliver Meiert http://meiert.com/en/ ☆ http://uitest.com/
