No, we should only have DOM attributes when they're part of the

I understand they're not in the ARIA spec, and as I said, it was
obviously a mistake that we implemented them. What you said implies
that it was a conscious design decision not to have them - was it
really? Do you not think the HTML5 DOM should expose these attributes
directly, as it does so many other attributes?
Right, that is the plan for the reason I gave earlier. I don't really have
a position on the matter myself. I just want everyone to do the same :-)
...but not enough to make you happy with the end solution, given that we
need to continue having X-UA-Compatible in some form in order to give
web developers a quick fix to keep their sites up.
True.
Kind regards,
