Domenic: which instructions?
00:34
<Domenic>
Hixie: when you email the subscribe address
00:35
<Domenic>
Hixie: basically, try to subscribe to whatwg and you'll see it's pretty bad
01:13
<Hixie>
ah
01:13
<Hixie>
yeah
01:13
<Hixie>
dunno what to do about it
01:14
<Hixie>
Domenic: wait, why is it bad
01:14
<Hixie>
Domenic: can't you just reply to the e-mail and be done with it?
01:16
<Domenic>
Hixie: those instructions don't work either. They contradict themselves. The reply to address is different from the one in the body and they tell you to have only that string. Try it.
01:16
<Hixie>
ok, i sent an e-mail ta whatwg-subscribe⊙wo
01:16
<Hixie>
i got back an e-mail
01:16
<Hixie>
i replied to it
01:17
<Hixie>
now i'm subscribed
01:17
<Hixie>
i don't understand the problem
01:17
<Hixie>
i mean, other than the e-mail mentions the website, which doesn't work
01:27
<Domenic>
Hmm replying didn't work for me
01:27
<Domenic>
And the reply-to didn't match the instructions in the body of the email
01:27
<Domenic>
Are there three separate ways to confirm subscription, only one of which works?
01:28
<Domenic>
Instructions in body for emailing whatwg-request don't work
01:28
<Domenic>
Clicking on the link doesn't work
01:28
<Domenic>
But replying does?
01:29
<Hixie>
there are three, two of which should work
01:29
<Hixie>
i haven't tried whatwg-request
01:31
<Hixie>
(the url will work too, you just have to use a browser that doesn't have HSTS information blocking that host)
01:32
<Hixie>
i sent a help command to whatwg-request⊙wo and that worked too, fwiw
01:53
<estellevw>
Trying to full understand the "is" attribute, but having a hard time searching for such a popular term. Anyone have a link to a good explanation and the spec?
01:53
<estellevw>
s/full/fully
01:54
<estellevw>
just had to ask so that i could find it. http://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/custom/#instantiating-custom-elements
01:54
<estellevw>
never mind
01:56
<estellevw>
though if anyone has a good article, that's appreciated
05:14
<Domenic>
Hixie: hmm my bad, I typoed "request" :(
05:17
<Hixie>
heh

@counter-style is part of css3, right?
10:09
<Ms2ger>
It's part of CSS, yes
10:19
<jsx>
ok, Ms2ger, just wanted to make sure its correct if i tag it as CSS3 in MDN
10:19
<Ms2ger>
That's not particularly useful, but *shrug*
10:21
<jsx>
alright.. i thought that might help if someone is searching for CSS3 specific things
10:22
<annevk>
jsx: CSS3 is not a thing per the CSS WG
10:22
<jsx>
oh! ok
10:23
<annevk>
jsx: so if we pretend that CSS3 is a thing in MDN, we might want to overhaul that
10:23
<annevk>
jsx: and instead focus on modules
10:23
<jsx>
nope, i'm removing it rightaway
10:23
<jsx>
thanks for the info
10:29
<jsx>
annevk: is it a political thing like how the whatwg calls it html while the w3c calls it html5? or is this universal. (sorry, i'm very new to this)
10:30
<Ms2ger>
jsx, no, this is the CSSWG's call, actually
10:31
<annevk>
jsx: while CSS 2.1 was still being developed, CSS3 (at the time still a thing) was developed in the form of modules
10:31
<Ms2ger>
jsx, they have version numbers for individual modules, but "CSS3" as a general thing doesn't exist
10:31
<annevk>
jsx: however, some of those modules turned out to advance quicker than CSS3 as a whole
10:31
<annevk>
jsx: so versioning (leveling in CSSWG terms) became scoped to modules, rather than CSS
10:32
<jsx>
like "CSS Counter Styles Level 3" annevk?
10:32
<annevk>
jsx: exactly
10:32
<annevk>
jsx: http://www.xanthir.com/b4Ko0 has an explanation from TabAtkins
10:32
<Ms2ger>
TIL: Chrome still doesn't support setting event types to the empty string
10:32
<Ms2ger>
Speaking of which...
10:32
<Ms2ger>
annevk, r? https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/1342 :)
10:33
<jsx>
thanks annevk, Ms2ger
10:33
<Ms2ger>
Np
10:33
<annevk>
Ms2ger: I take it you ran these through a browser already?
10:34
<Ms2ger>
Er
10:35
<Ms2ger>
Looks like I broke one since the last time I did
10:36
<annevk>
Ms2ger: createEvent table does not match https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-document-createevent
10:38
<annevk>
Ms2ger: reviewed
10:38
<Ms2ger>
Thanks
10:38
<Ms2ger>
Looks like TouchEvent isn't supported in Fx?
10:38
<Ms2ger>
Oh, I guess it might be preffed off
10:40
<Ms2ger>
annevk, again? :)
10:40
<annevk>
Ms2ger: again?
10:40
<Ms2ger>
I added the missing ones
10:41
<annevk>
Ah, done
10:41
<Ms2ger>
Thanks
10:41
<annevk>
I thought I had said something stupid somewhere
10:43
<Ms2ger>
No no :)
12:59
<annevk>
Hixie: stylesheet on whatwg.org has "padding; 0;"
12:59
<annevk>
Hixie: same stylesheet (tabbed-pages) also has -moz-outline which is dropped in Firefox Nightly
14:59
<Ms2ger>
The descriptions of those old DOM tests are pure poetry
14:59
<Ms2ger>
An document type accessed, setNodeValue is called with a non-null argument, but getNodeValue
14:59
<Ms2ger>
should still return null.
15:53
<TabAtkins>
annevk: That blog post gets so much mileage.
21:48
<SimonSapin>
TabAtkins: the things about URLs like css4-backgrounds could be updated, I guess
21:48
<SimonSapin>
though it might still be relevant for some TR snapshots
