*nothing* is gone. The document is an editor's draft.

Ian Hickson does a good job at going through all feedback emails,  
issue trackers of browsers, etc. He's dealing right now with emails  
from 2005/2006.

You might want to look at the differences
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/diff/

	"HTML 5 defines the fifth major revision
	of the core language of the World Wide Web,
	HTML. "HTML 5 differences from HTML 4"
	describes the differences between HTML 4 and
	HTML 5 and provides some of the rationale for
	the changes. This document may not provide
	accurate information as the HTML 5 specification
	is still in development. When in doubt, always
	check the HTML 5 specification itself. [HTML5]

The work being done for documenting the rationale behind each  
features is given at
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/

If you want to participate, Ian Hickson gave guidance on how to raise  
issues.

A feature which is not in HTML 5 editor's draft has not necessary  
been dropped. It might just lack of research and documentation to  
make an informed choice.
