I'm not sure I really see the need for special tags like this. What are the
advantages of turning every tag into a component?

Unless there is a new input type or tag that affects server side behavior,
but I don't see one... save perhaps the new inline editing feature of HTML
5.

Keep it simple.

I'm not opposing the withdrawl, but I do want to say (on behalf of Molly
Holzschlag) that there is a JavaScript library called HTML5 Now that is
supposed to "upgrade" browsers to HTML 5 w/o them actually supporting it. I
think this is the script:

newer one. Just FYI.
