I agree with this, so disregard my previous remarks on this subject. I
would however recommend dropping the word "primary".
Note that what you've quoted was from a note about a potential issue
with the DOM APIs which appears in the last formally published WD, but
which has since been removed from the current editor's draft.
I wouldn't want to make people think their particular use case was
excluded. What if someone wanted to use a date to indicate the time an
entry was added, for instance? Hence the word "primary".
This confuses me again ;-) Sorry. Are you saying that examples and
use-cases will be excluded from the spec?
No. It's just that the note didn't list all possible use cases and
that there are other similar use cases for marking up contemporary
dates which are equally valid.
In other words, the normative section of the spec will be as generic as
possible, while a non-normative section will cover a bounch of use cases
and examples, without pretending to be exahustive with regard to all
possible use cases. Am I wrong?
