HTML5 Redefines Footer

In response to the Super Friends’ request, the HTML5 working groups have redefined footer. This is a wonderful usability improvement to the spec.

It seems like only yesterday that the HTML5 Super Friends asked the HTML5 working groups to rethink footer’s content model to avoid web developer misuse and frustration. Okay, it wasn’t yesterday, it was Monday. Close enough. Today comes word that footer is indeed being redefined as we requested. This is a wonderful usability improvement to HTML5, and we salute the working group(s) for listening and acting.
