Haven't looked at the patch, but I think we need to talk about high-level thoughts about handling HTML5.  

* Should we have separate sets of tags for HTML 4 and 5?

* If so, should it be handled be one module, or should it get split into to?

* Should we have strict and loose definitions of tags, going forward?  One of the things I've run into is tag attributes that are recognized by browsers, but not in the spec.  

Thoughts?
