W3C has published "HTML 5 differences from HTML 4" [1]. If I understand your question, I think that document will be helpful, particularly the sections on changed and absent elements/attributes. Avoid the absent elements and review the changed elements and you should be fine. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/ -- Chris Cressman http://chriscressman.com
