** need to get in touch with Tab Atkins and catch-up on the current state of his work vs. existing prefixed partial implementation in Firefox and Safari.
*** 2010-155 briefly spoke with Tab about flex box in irc and noted that I'm working on css3-color and css3-ui first.

==== restoring pragmatic HTML4 things ====
* <code><cite></code> element for names of speakers
==== upgrade HTML4 features to be more flexible and usable ====
* <code><ins></code> and <code><del></code> <code>datetime</code> attribute should allow YYYY-MM-DD in addition to full ISO8601 datetime.
** easier for hand-authoring
** no need to force authors to enter artificial precision (e.g. YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z instead of YYYY-MM-DD)
==== improving new features ====
* make <code><time></code> and new date/time <code><input></code> elements consistent
* expand both time/input to handle additional real world cases
** YYYY
** YYYY-MM
** --MM-DD
* improve <code><time></code> element to support uses analogous to the "value class pattern" date and time separation use case (compose nested <code><time></code> elements into a single date and time)
