We (the WTP PMC and Source

We wanted to announce this on
this mailing
list since, to some, this will appear to be a "new feature" in
a service release. While it is
admittedly a large addition, there are no new bundles, no new
Eclipse
Features, nor any new or changed
APIs.
From an HTML point of view, this is merely a new content model
(set of valid HTML elements and
attributes)
to code and validate against. So, we concluded it fit within the
bounds of a "service release".
It's still a new feature. As prior, only HTML 4.x was supported,
now HTML 5 is supported. I think we could
argue semantics on this one if we wanted to. Of course we could
have argued semantics on the PsychoPath Processor
service release support JDK 1.4 as well, I guess.
I think it is a good thing to include, but think we really blurred
what we call a feature in this case.
