Gists are a poor way to communicate I'd put this stuff in a repo, you never get notified of comments on Gists...

@briandipalma sorry may be unclear, we are just gathering questions to be answered for a future article on http://html5doctor.com

I'd like to see a future version able to handle more common interactions that are currently only achievable using Javascript. Elements like the new input types have already started this process by allowing things like a default date picker for dates.

Possible examples...

  1. Simple show/hide/toggle (possibly using an attribute in a tag to trigger an action on another tag with matching ID)
  2. Accordions (expand/collapse one element in a series of elements, maybe using attributes and ID's)

The end result would have a few advantages:

  • less reliance on Javascript for basic UI functions
  • less page weight
  • faster development for both web and HTML5 apps

Just a few thoughts!

Why is the future seen as using a modularity model similar to CSS when the entirety of HTML5 will make it to rec before the vast majority of CSS level 3 specs do, despite the fact that CSS level 3 started first?

where do implementers fit in to this?
