| 16:07 | <Maxim Vaarwel> | Good evening to everyone. The spec has the next point in contributes a script-blocking style sheet:
Could anyone clarify in which cases user agent give up on loading a style sheet? |
| 17:03 | <emilio> | Maxim Vaarwel: That seems to allow the optimization of having some sort of network timeout to unblock script execution. I don't think Gecko at least implements anything like that, I don't think other engines do either, but I could be wrong |
| 17:04 | <emilio> | Maxim Vaarwel: blaming the spec points at similar wording being there for at least 10 years (though Dominic Farolino touched it recently). If nobody implements such a thing we should probably just remove that from the spec. |

| 20:55 | <emilio> | emilio What you mean is if the stylesheet takes too long to load then the user agent may abort the loading. So? |
| 21:00 | <Maxim Vaarwel> | As for unlocking to execute the code, it’s clear. My previous question was because, it has a direct quote: "A user agent may gives up on loading a style sheet at any time." - it clearly says “gives up” - but it is not specified what it means. (replace my "so?" to "right?", they have the same meaning) |
| 22:40 | <Maxim Vaarwel> | emilio: So what exactly is meant by “gives up” in that sentence? |
