I think it's a bad idea for feature requests to include proposed element names in the page title. There's always significant discussion about appropriate element names for features, so the proposal should focus on the problem to be solved, rather than the specific solution. e.g. instead of proposing a <footnote> element, propose a way to mark up footnotes.

I think it's a bad idea for feature requests to include proposed element names in the page title. There's always significant discussion about appropriate element names for features, so the proposal should focus on the problem to be solved, rather than the specific solution. e.g. instead of proposing a <footnote> element, propose a way to mark up footnotes.

- Replying to myself, I don't think there would be any problem removing that as Matthew Raymond seems to have abandoned the wiki as it was in April 2005. It seems it was just an idea that was never really used, until now. (There was no other registered user than Matthew before I register a few hours ago.) --Michel Fortin 21:14, 15 Nov 2006 (PST)
