[webkit-dev] Adding <main> element to WebCore

[Steve Faulkner]

Hi Maciej,

thanks for the clarification.

I would suggest that if, as in this case, Hixie rejects a feature
without convincing the WHATWG community that the data, use cases etc
do not support the introduction of a feature, then the WHATWG process is broken.

regards
