wonders what has happened to structured cloning stuff

<smaug____>
way harder to read than the old version of the spec

<smaug____>
these days it is totally unclear what should happen when getters throw exceptions

SimonSapin: do you me to just fork python-webencodings or do you want to transfer ownership of the repo? (or add me as an owner; w/e)
20:36
<SimonSapin>
gsnedders: please fork it, I’m thinking of marking a bunch of my repos as unmaintained at some point
20:37
<gsnedders>
SimonSapin: kk. just abandons the single issue there (from me, which is hardly a big deal :))
20:37
<SimonSapin>
gsnedders: I’ve given you PyPI access

<gsnedders>
SimonSapin: thx!

When do we expect any parser to *not* prescan the byte stream to determine its encoding?
22:46
<gsnedders>
Given per the spec that prescan is "optional"
22:46
<gsnedders>
(This is relatively theoretical, given in practice even with it mandatory the length scanned is unpsecified, and can be zero, for example on a slow network)

(But it's not entirely: should html5lib have an option to turn it off?)
