(Lazy report, I had wished the group to accept reports also through the public-annotation@ list.)

  1. Terminology is imprecise (others may call it wrong ;). When the document talks about HTML tags, it often means elements. Upon scanning the document, all the instances of “tags” that pertain to HTML actually mean elements.

Summary: Use "element" instead of "tag" for clarity and precision
