Proactive planning for DITA intersection with HTML6

HTML5 moved their box closer to the DITA topic model than before,
      but obviously has lacked a class inheritance or
      specialization-capable mechanism for us to hook into
      strategically. Hence we have been stuck with designing around the
      lack of those architectural placeholders. 

      

      While the schedule for something useful in Lightweight DITA may 
      preclude waiting for a next chance at intersecting with HTML6,
      perhaps we can tender a proposal for the bits we need at this
      community contribution site:

      The hope would be that, by DITA 2.0 planning time, we can look at
      a possibly closer binding to an all-HTML6 base model (pulling out
      Erik Hennum's noble penchant again, since it unifies architecture
      with delivery in a nice way).

    

    Thoughts?
