Revision as of 11:14, 26 January 2011

This document contains a list of the problems for which feature requests have been made. Linked problem pages contain the document of the problem and their relevant solutions. Obviously, we want to keep HTML as simple as possible. That means not everyone will get what they want. Having good documentation for the problems at hand will help all of us work out what is most important.

Guidelines

Before proposing a feature, please read Proposing features. If you want to add a feature request, start by copying the Problem Solving template page onto a new page and fill out as much information as you can.

You don't have to provide detailed answers for everything straight away. The most important information to provide at first is the problem description. Once we have detailed descriptions, use cases and an understanding of the limitations with existing markup, we can then begin to discuss the best way in which to address the problems and work out more of the more technical details.
