This bug is intended to launch a new discussion on support for HTML 5 in the WTP source editing model.  We are interested in starting long-term discussions about the impact that HTML 5 will have on tooling support within WTP.

The current target for releasing the HTML 5 spec is about a year away according to http://www.w3.org/html/wg/.

The buzz around HTML 5 is definitely picking up. Now would be a great time to start looking into support.

Do we have anyone in the WTP realm with domain expertise on this who could walk us through the salient features?  Would it be useful to check new feature lists on more cutting edge HTML products like Dreamweaver to try to parse out a minimal support features set?

I don't know anyone personally. We could head out to wtp-dev to try and poll people for info.

Hey, Cameron. I think we got a lot of the work out of the way for this (content model and validation) in Bug 292415. Please let us know if there's anything we may have missed. We'll definitely keep an eye on things as HTML5 continues to move forward.
