- HTML 5 defines a kaboodle of new elements and attributes, as well as
- some well-defined, "quirks mode" HTML parsing. Although WHATWG professes
- to be targeted towards web applications, many of their semantic additions
- would be quite useful in regular documents. Eventually, HTML
- Purifier will need to audit their lists and figure out what changes need
- to be made. This process is complicated by the fact that the WHATWG
- doesn't buy into W3C's modularization of XHTML 1.1: we may need
- to remodularize HTML 5 (probably done by section name). No sense in
- committing ourselves till the spec stabilizes, though.
-
- More immediately speaking though, however, is the well-defined parsing
- behavior that HTML 5 adds. While I have little interest in writing
- another DirectLex parser, other parsers like ph5p
- <http://jero.net/lab/ph5p/> can be adapted to DOMLex to support much more
- flexible HTML parsing (a cool feature I've seen is how they resolve
- <b>bold<i>both</b>italic</i>).
