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.
I know we've kind of dropped this issue, but I feel like I need to ask
this question, since one of us is missing something obvious, and I
generally find that in such cases that person is me :-)
If we make the renderer aware of the user-agent, and it outputs
different tags depending on that user-agent value, won't that actually
make things harder for the user, since the whole purpose of the new
markup is to help with css? What am I missing here?
