                              <p>Today there was yet another revealing message on the public-html mailing list. Most of the people have difficulties to grasp what is parsed and what can be authored. This is an issue. </p>

<p><a href="http://intertwingly.net/blog/">Sam Ruby</a> (IBM) is saying in a <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Dec/0077">message on <strong>December 6, 2007</strong></a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>P.S.  The reason I did not understand the original message is that I do  see <code>wbr</code> mentioned in the current draft of the html5, and I don't see where it declares that it is an error.</p>
</blockquote>

<p><a href="http://ln.hixie.ch/">Ian Hickson</a> (Google), one of the two <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/">HTML 5 specification</a> editors,  is <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Feb/0196">replying on <strong>February 13, 2008</strong></a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>It's not a parse error, but there's no way to include it in an HTML document without violating the content models.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>We really need to come up with a document for HTML 5 authors. I have written it a few times. This document needs to be written by Web designers, Web design agency workers, freelance, etc. It is <strong>not</strong> about creating a new language. One first step would be to extract all the content model of HTML 5. <a href="http://lachy.id.au/">Lachlan Hunt</a> (Opera) had started to put together what could be such a document: <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/">The Web Developer's Guide to HTML 5</a>. It would be cool if a group of people were ready to work on this. Read carefully, working, here means editing a document, collecting comments, improving it, etc.</p>

<p>If you feel so, <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/#join">join the HTML WG</a>.</p>

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I would like to help you in your work, but I'm still learning HTML 4.0 Transitional. So, I think it would be no use if I try.</p>

<p>Good luck...</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I would like to ask a question.</p>

<p>In the HTML 5 specification I've seen that many new properties will take the values of true/false.</p>

<p>What I'm missing there is an update for the old properties (for example <i>option</i> tag's <i>selected</i> property that takes "selected" as its value) to take true/false values as well.</p>

<p>Did I miss it in the specification, or is there a reason that it's not there ?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,
Nir</p>

<p>Maybe you are using HTML 3.2. There is no HTML 3 per se. I guess it depends on your needs, but I encourage you to look at the feature set of HTML 4.01 at least ;)</p>
