WORKING SESSION SPECIFICS
Objectives	Handle autofocus in a unified and secure way. Make sure SOP applies for autofocus usage in frame/iframe'd websites. Re-discuss necessity for (future) attributes like this. Discuss necessity and capability for the HTML5 form controls. Do we need a non-SOP formaction attribute and why? Goal I: Initiate and create documentation and references for developers that address security issues. Html5sec.org is a start but impossible to continue or extend large scale without vendor help Goal II:Discuss and heavily restrict SVG capabilities - especially when deployed in CSS backgrounds and <img> tags. Mainly Opera and Mozilla are addressed here. Long Term Goal(s): Provide a working and easy to use as well as vendor supported HTML5 compliant filter software such as HTMLPurifier. Browser vendors should participate in creating security software and filters - not undermine them as we could experience in the last decade.
