== HTML5 ==
As a foundational technology, everything else (microformats, CSS3, WebApps, etc.) depend on getting [[HTML5]] right, and fixing problems in the <span id="HTML5_spec_improvements">HTML5 spec</span>.
* <code><time></code> element - from [http://www.w3.org/wiki/User:Tantekelik#time_element_issues W3C wiki: time element issues]. Just need to keep a watch on these issues in the HTMLWG telcons, [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/ list], [http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/html-wg/ irc] and make sure the proposals are accepted (if not already), spec changes made (if not already), and issues closed accordingly.
** [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/183 Issue 183]: [http://www.w3.org/wiki/User:Tantekelik/time_element <time> element change proposal] (developed on wikimo: [[HTML5/time#expand_time|HTML5/time]])
*** [http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-time-element.html#the-time-element incorporated in spec], awaiting issue closure.
** [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/184 Issue 184]: [http://www.w3.org/wiki/User:Tantekelik/data_element <data> element change proposal]
*** [http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-data-element incorporated in WHATWG spec], awaiting inclusion in W3C HTML5 spec, issue closure.
** [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/185 Issue 185]: [http://www.w3.org/wiki/User:Tantekelik/drop_pubdate drop pubdate attribute change proposal]
*** [http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-time-element.html#the-time-element incorporated in spec] (absence of pubdate), awaiting issue closure.
=== needs re-consideration ===
These items need re-evaluation to see if they're still important to get into HTML5, lower priority, or can be postponed to HTML next.
Next: follow-up on each, determining next steps on rejected proposals, and update [[HTML5#spec_issues|HTML5: spec issues]] accordingly.
==== summary naming ====
Moved to [[HTML5/summary#summary_naming|HTML5/summary]]
==== keeping crappy stuff out ====
===== simplify alt attribute guidance =====
Moved to [[HTML5/img#alt_guidance_needs_simplification|HTML5/img]].
===== remove meta Content-Language =====
Moved to [[HTML5/meta#remove_meta_Content-Language|HTML5/meta]]
==== upgrade HTML4 features to be more flexible and usable ====
==== restoring pragmatic HTML4 things ====
Moved to [[HTML5/cite#names_of_speakers|HTML5/cite]].
==== improving new features ====
===== iframe sandbox removal =====
Moved to [[HTML5/iframe#drop_sandbox_attribute|HTML5/iframe]].
=== lower priority improvements ===
* <code><meter></code> - poorly named. would prefer something like "gauge" but that's potentially hard(er) to spell. this is a bit bikesheddy though so not a high priority.
=== HTML next ===
Proposals/changes deferred to the next version of HTML (often dependent on more/better use-cases, and/or better implementation of HTML5 as defined so far).
==== nesting time ====
Moved to [[HTML5/time#nesting_time|HTML5/time]]. am pm handling too.
== Web Apps ==
** 2011-207 [http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20110727#l-331 asked Hixie on #whatwg].
=== WebAPI ===
