I think we need to be listening closely to Mr. Crockford.
Besides being highly regarded in the web development community as one of the most knowledgeable Javascript programmers alive, he also has some brilliant (non-Javascript) related ideas, like Fixing HTML.

I'm underwhelmed. The most pressing need in HTML is for a component element – otherwise called a Reset element by Dean Edwards. Although this component element sits within the document, it forces none of the parent CSS styles, block formatting contexts or other CSS abstractions to inherit into it's contents.
Without this, we'll never have a true component model in HTML.

Can you post a link to Dean's work and/or proposal? Sounds like an excellent idea.
