I have a question about showing the code to the user without it running in the background

For the purposes of interaction with other algorithms, an entry’s filename is the empty string if value is not a File object, and otherwise its filename is the value of entry’s value’s name attribute.

Does anyone know if any spec uses this? Because XHR doesn't seem to

https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-formdata

Andreu Botella (he/they): URL I think for application/x-www... and maybe multipart/form-data needs it?
16:26
<Andreu Botella (he/they)>
They might have used it before, but they don't anymore

The filename normalization now happens here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#converting-an-entry-list-to-a-list-of-name-value-pairs

Right, I was about to say someone(tm) might have refactored that
16:27
<Andreu Botella (he/they)>
yeah 😄

<annevk>
I suspect that means we can clean that up, which is nice because it was always rather ugly

I was working on a patch to fix the USV handling in WebKit, and I realized that the way I'm doing things might be easier to sell if entry names and values are defined as USV strings
16:30
<Andreu Botella (he/they)>
so I'm working on that now

I guess https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/7371 isn't actually editorial?

<Andreu Botella (he/they)>
The actual spec changes are editorial, but it's moving definitions
