[whatwg] Repetition templates missing

[Aaron Swartz]

In the 11 September 2008 edition, section 1.6 of the HTML5 WD
(http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#structure) links
to Repetition Templates at #repetition but there is no element with
that ID.

In a recent interview
(http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/programming-and-development/?p=718)
Ian Hickson says "For example, the repetition templates proposal is
almost certainly going to be dropped."

Can you please say why? I was quite fond of this proposal and we're
using it on OpenLibrary.org, where it's been a great boon to our
development.
