unsanctioned drift

A small clarification... My use of the word "unsanctioned" was not
intended in a perjorative manner. In that we have no standard as yet,
all of HTML is unsanctioned. I certainly endorse the orderly evolution
of the language, and "unsanctioned" extensions are part of that
evolution. I am uncomfortable, however, with the notion that because
someone has used a tag in a particular way that is not widely employed,
we are nonetheless stuck with that particular instantiation.

My question of threshold was not rhetorical... I really don't know what
the answer is (though I feel that this is more profitably pursued in a
bar than on the list ;-).

..back to META...
