It isn't. See
http://blog.mozilla.com/rob-sayre/2008/02/19/bloaty-parts-of-the-whatwg-
html5-specification-that-should-be-removed/

In particular, see Ian Hickson's comment. He already acknoledged that
this stuff doesn't belong in the HTML specification, and the only reason
that the current HTML 5 spec has so much junk in it is because nobody
else is writing seperate specs for these features.
