[jsr-314-open] [jsf2.next] WITHDRAWN Proposal to support newsemantic HTML5 tags

[Simon Lessard]

Hi,
 
Or we can simply make the renderer aware of the agent and its version .
 
Those new tags exist to better describe a document and could very well have a meaning in various render kit for their semantic value even if not yet in HTML.
 
Or we could have the default render kit display them as div/span with or withotu default style class, leaving the opportunity to a third party to develop an HTML 5 render kit and/or also provide a HTML 5 render kit out-of-the-box as well as the default one. Briefly, I don't think the withdrawal is justified.
 
Regards,
 
~ Simon

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: http://remysharp.com/2009/01/07/html5-enabling-script/ But there might be a newer one. Just FYI.
