Description

The <model> element shares a lot of similarities with the <audio> and <video> elements, yet it's distinct in some ways (we need to tease these out). It's similar in being potentially temporal multimedia content (i.e., it has audio, it potentially animates over time). We need to figure out if model sufficiently different to warrant being its own element class, or if it can reuse much of "media element"'s infrastructure.
