* I can correct the local copy of Toolbox on my own site, although I’m always happy
to receive other people’s advice on the best way to do so. 🙂
* I just wanted to make sure the issue was reported so that a future release of
Toolbox can correct the problems. If there’s a specific bugzilla where I should
post this, just let me know, and I’ll make a report there.

* Please be aware that the HTML5 specification is still in draft format. Perhaps
when W3C stops mucking about, turns it into formal spec (how may years has it
been in draft for now?) and stops changing it all the time, the rest of use can
adjust our themes to suit. Right now, it hardly seems worth it IMO.

* I’m aware that it’s still in draft format, and I appreciate the frustration this
causes.
* That said, the tag seems fairly definitively gone (with pubdate it seems
less certain). It’s been over a year since a new version of Toolbox was released,
so I thought it was worth flagging in case any new release was planned.
* Hopefully it should all get sorted out next year when the standard should be
finalized …

* I’m not 100% sure if Toolbox will continue to be updated. To a large extent,
it’s been superseded by _s: [http://underscores.me/](http://underscores.me/)

* I didn’t know, but had feared that. 🙁
* Thanks very much for pointing me to _s! This looks very cool indeed.
