is it normal for wpt tests to land *before* the corresponding specs have incorporated a modification? https://github.com/whatwg/streams/pull/1011 isn't landed yet, but https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/18693 that depends upon it has, and this seems kind of wrong
03:39
<Mek>
that almost looks like the fact that the spec PR isn't merged yet is an oversight?

<Domenic>
jwalden: no, I mean, not by more than a day or so. It looks like that slipped through the cracks. Please ping the thread and I bet ricea will either revert the tests or land the spec
03:41
<jwalden>
done
03:41
<jwalden>
in my tree we fail that test, for legit reasons but also for those, so at least I got *some* signal from it :-)
04:12
<jwalden>
also apparently I do not understand how method and constructor lengths are determined :-|

was assuming it was the same way as ECMAScript, but https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#compute-the-effective-overload-set seems to indicate no

Howdy!

I debated a bit the HTML spec with someone else, and we couldn't agree on some points. Warning, long post incoming =D
22:40
<P35>
After the !DOCTYPE declaration, I put an html element (point 5 here https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#writing), he doesn't (Tag omission in text/html https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-html-element).
22:40
<P35>
Assuming I don't have control over the Content-Type header, on a related note, I put a meta charset (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#charset "If an HTML document does not start with a BOM, and its encoding is not explicitly given by Content-Type metadata [...] then the encoding must be specified using a meta element with a charset attribute "), he doesn't ("Regardless of whether a character encoding
22:40
<P35>
declaration is present or not, the actual character encoding used to encode the document must be UTF-8. ")
22:40
<P35>
I put a head and a title elements (because I put an html element then the first child must be a head // https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-head-element "Note The title element is a required child in most situations"), he doesn't (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-head-element Tag omission in text/html // Title: "Note If it's reasonable for the Document to have no title, then
22:40
<P35>
the title element is probably not required.")
22:40
<P35>
In a nutshell: assuming no control over the Content-Type header, do we HAVE TO have html, head, meta charset, and title elements, as I have always done. Or does a minimal document without these is allowed, like he learned to do it?
