Attributes with out values are great, how is
'disabled="disabled"' better than just 'disabled'?
I don't see anything wrong in drag'n'drop and attributes without values... but IndexedDB and DRM are indeed stuff I see as "there is something badly wrong"
What's wrong with IndexedDB?
You can't even do result-set limiting with IDB (see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19714782/indexeddb-how-to...).
As soon as you want to do more processing on your data than just looking it up from the storage, you have to do it in client-side code. That just plain sucks.

I have not looked into DRM deeply but what's wrong with everything else you have listed in your opinion?
1-to-1 relationship between the window object and the document object. It's not something wrong HTML5 per se, but HTML in general. We should instead be permitted many documents to one window object, and have a scene-graph based windowing system for managing the documents.
To the person who downvoted this, care to explain why? I would expect Alan Kay to agree with this.
The 1-to-1 relationship is the reason we have "div hell".
