Alright, I agree, I don't have a problem with it. But is it possible to create a detailed documentation for this, including "How do I code it right?," with
wrong good and examples? In my opinion, if there was a good, clear and
understandable (for human regular beings that is) documentantion which
developers could refer to, and if it succeeded in getting known widely, it
could improve the overall knowledge and accessibility. It reminds of the
longdesc attribute - it's useful but nobody really knows how to make it right.

I think it would be reasonable to have examples, yes.

I've added one for <label> similar to the above. Do you have any other
areas where you would like particular examples?

Mm, maybe adding an error message would be fine - just to nail the head :)
<p><label>Post code: <input name=pc> <small>Format: AB12 3CD</small> <span>There seems to be an error, please type the post code in the correct format.</span></label></p> (for example)

Note that Lachy is working on a whole authoring guide for HTML5 which will
probably cover things like this in more detail also.

Great, can I see it somewhere?

Thanks,
O.V.
