Why?

[soulhakr]

I can immediately see multiple reasons against the adoption of this spec, but none in favor.

• It is a more verbose, less informative dialect than HTML5
• It encourages the use of non-canonical tags, which would promote inconsistency
• video appears to be the default type for media tags which is counter-intuitive at best, and possibly redundant
• it seems "media" should be thought of as replacing the "object" tag rather than the img/picture, video, and audio tags

Please provide some idea as to why this would in any way be beneficial.

I second the above comments.

You're proposing an enourmous amount of verbosity for the benefit of using arbitrary tags that, and I quote, are just for you. None of those elements mean anything to the browser. You might as well stick to the current methods of having an occasional <div id="wrapper">, since it's just as meaningless.
