Going Global: Global Attributes

The HTML DOM defines global attributes that you can assign to every document node and it also specifies events that the browser fires either as a result of a user interaction or as a page lifecycle event.

You already saw the ID attribute as one example of global attributes. HTML5 adds a number of new global attributes and events to the markup.
