| 11:26 | <mbrodesser (offline on Fridays)> | Are IDL setters in the spec expected to be called for an IDL attribute's default value? |
| 11:34 | <zcorpan> | mbrodesser (offline on Fridays): can you give an example of what you mean? |

| 11:47 | <mbrodesser (offline on Fridays)> | The question arose in the context of https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10873#discussion_r1891023659 |
| 11:51 | <zcorpan> | mbrodesser (offline on Fridays): the comment about default value has no normative effect and doesn't say anything about when the setter is invoked. The setter is called when author code sets it, or some spec text says to call it. The default value is about what the getter will return |
| 11:52 | <mbrodesser (offline on Fridays)> | zcorpan: thanks, that makes sense |
