| 10:49 | <annevk> | WorkerGlobalScope might have been impacted because JS engines didn't have other types of globals at the time, but not sure |
| 14:10 | <GPHemsley> | yall are not having nearly as much fun with this as I had hoped |
| 14:15 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: it was hard to come up with a joke-y reply and then someone started to take it seriously |
| 14:16 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: whatwg/encoding also somewhat routinely gets serious requests for stuff like this, which takes some of the fun out as well |
| 14:25 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: but hey, the page might get fixed, there's that ;-) |
| 14:25 | <GPHemsley> | :-P |
| 14:27 | <GPHemsley> | annevk: I do have some (more) serious archival-related concerns about changing the encoding of a historical document, though |
| 14:28 | <GPHemsley> | (mostly outside the scope of the WHATWG) |
| 14:30 | <GPHemsley> | side note, my original thought was to register an encoding with the IETF registry, but it seems that hasn't been updated since 2018 |
| 14:30 | <annevk> | W3C keeps things in version control I think, but also, any such concerns should extend to the metadata, which likely has changed |
| 14:31 | <GPHemsley> | there was a relatively-recent working draft revision of the relevant RFC, but that seems to have been abandoned |
| 14:31 | <GPHemsley> | annevk: true |
| 14:34 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: pointer? |
| 14:35 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: the IANA registry is considered obsolete by the web |
| 16:21 | <andreubotella> | annevk: The changes in https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/3276 related to percent-encoding don't seem to be tested, with Firefox not following them in at least some cases |
| 16:25 | <andreubotella> | oh, I missed https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/8618 |
| 16:27 | <annevk> | andreubotella: it seems these did land in /FileAPI/file/ |
| 16:31 | <andreubotella> | all I'm seeing in FileAPI/file is about making sure filenames effectively use encode |
| 16:32 | <annevk> | Oh okay |
| 17:04 | <GPHemsley> | from 2015: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iana-charset-reg-procedure-01 |
| 17:04 | <GPHemsley> | annevk: ^ |
| 17:05 | <GPHemsley> | annevk: it appears the intent was to split the registry in categories such that it can continue to register legacy encodings |
| 18:09 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: ooh, yeah, I've seen that I think |
| 18:09 | <annevk> | GPHemsley: too little, too late |
