    <p>You're not the first person wondering about this. See the discussion between Rob Sayre and the HTML5 editor (hixie): <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/rob-sayre/2008/02/19/bloaty-parts-of-the-whatwg-html5-specification-that-should-be-removed/#comment-7559" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blog.mozilla.com/rob-sayre/2008/02/19/bloaty-parts-of-the-whatwg-html5-specification-that-should-be-removed/#comment-7559</a></p> <p>My understanding is this: there is a number of</p> <ol> <li>widely implemented, but underspecified or not specified old technologies (e.g. "DOM 0" features, tag-soup parsing)</li> <li>"important" new technologies, which the modern browser vendors would like to implement interoperably (e.g. video, canvas, offline).</li> </ol> <p>If hixie is interested in them and no other editor steps up to maintain a separate specification, hixie prefers to keep them in HTML5, "[rephrased] paying the price of a bloated specification for not stalling the web progress".</p> <p>BTW, if you want an authoritative answer, you should ask hixie himself or in the HTML5 discussion forums.</p> <p>[edit] found an addition e-mail from hixie on splitting stuff from the HTML5 spec: <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Oct/0127.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Oct/0127.html</a></p>

    1. COIf this is about a community standard then why is a single person expected to be the source of all answers for the definition of what the specification's technology is? Why is this answer not explicitly defined in the standard? It sounds as though the specification does not know what technology it is a specification for. Am I completely off the mark when I say that?

    2. COYou're asking meta-questions about other people's work and I don't understand why. Yes,ideally there wouldn't be braindead behavior already implemented and relied upon, content and presentation would be 100% separate. There would be clear line between what's in HTML5 and what's out. There would be 100 experts on web technologies who have time to devote to writing high-quality specifications and the specifications would be implemented without errors and deployed to the users in 3 months. However we don't live in an ideal world and I don't a problem with the current setup that is easily fixable.

    3. COThe work is a standard and is intended to apply to many aspects of the web, which directly impacts everybody who develops for the web. It is not personal work and it is why I am asking. Everything in your hypothetical, except for your timeline, is generally considered a minimal expectation in the drafting of spec supported by standards bodies. There were 150 "experts" that came together to write XML. Consider how standards come together for ISO or IETF. In those groups it is like submitting a doctoral dissertation with extended defense by the author. Why must HTML have lower expectations?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
