@Jin – It’s a huge dilemma, the many versus few approach. Considering the long-term impact and hoped-for lifespan of HTML5, it’s hard to justify keeping the decision-makers down to a few, especially considering the far-reaching consequences of their actions on fields like accessibility. At the same time, if it’s too huge there’s a serious risk of paralysis. I’m just glad I’m not looked to for the solution.
Regarding tags: I agree. Like, do we need both header and hgroup? Is aside actually useful in most cases, or merely a confusing tag that should be used much less frequently that in will be (sidebars)? I think I like section, but is it really more useful than div? So many questions come up about what is really needed.
