Recently added to the HTML spec, "A new {{CustomElementRegistry}} object." (x2) is odd. Shouldn't they be "a new <code>CustomElementRegistry</code> object"?

annevk: thoughts on https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/pull/1820 appreciated.
06:13
<annevk>
jmdyck: ouch. Will fix.

<annevk>
That's what you get for editing DOM and HTML at the same time.

<annevk>
Domenic: oh, I think I gave a review of what you already surmised, oops
06:19
annevk
thinks a bit more
06:20
<Domenic>
Maybe I just need to audit all uses...
06:21
<Domenic>
A lot of cases seem to be misusing request's window when they should be using its client
06:22
<Domenic>
A lot of others are just setting window to no-window
06:23
<annevk>
The latter is fine. The former I agree with is likely wrong. But I do think we want something like a Window object here, not just an abstract reference to a tab.
06:23
<annevk>
When we present something to the end user it's important that the end user can attribute it to a particular origin.
06:23
<Domenic>
Hmm, curious to learn why
06:24
<Domenic>
Well I see you commented on GitHub
06:25
<annevk>
End users need to be able to blame the address bar. If we end up showing a dialog for an unrelated website, we've done it wrong.
06:25
<Domenic>
The navigation case seems tricky though because do we really want to associate browser UI navigation with the previous Window object that just so happens to be in this tab?
06:26
<annevk>
Yeah that is a tricky case and I doubt we'd want to use the previous Window. It probably needs to show a blank page or something beneath the authentication dialog?
06:26
<Domenic>
I mean in practice it'll show the previous page beneath it in the actual UI. But it might influence the contents of any dialogs, in theory.
06:27
<annevk>
Are you sure that's what happens for this case? That would seem quite confusing.
06:27
<Domenic>
I'm about 90% sure, will try to reproduce
06:28
<Domenic>
Wooooah you're right. Go to https://example.com, then open https://labs.w0s.jp/http/authorization/basic/ .
06:29
<Domenic>
OK so... maybe introduce a third value, "browser-ui-navigation" or something? And then let that show WWW-Authenticate dialogs, etc., with a special callout to blank out the page or similar?
06:49
<annevk>
Yeah, something in that direction seems reasonable. Though it might also be subject to a same-origin check I suppose.
06:50
<Domenic>
Right, testing does show that to be the case, OK. Will give it a shot.

<acr>
unsure whether i should ask here, but im submitting request for standards-position to ffox (done already) and webkit, should i first check with anyone that it's an ok write up / context , or just file it?
07:49
<annevk>
Just don't deviate from the template provided.
08:15
<acr>
Do you prefer the description as done here? https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1215, or less verbose?
08:29
<acr>
annevk: i can add you as webkitten or whatever as well, if that's an issue you want to comment on, otherwise ill add marcocaceres i think, which may have an opinion about the privacy concerns, iiuc. (spec has a single paragraph about it though, from what i remember)
08:48
<acr>
done

So, a fun (sort of) question: the resource selection algorithm says it's always run from a task, but it uses Await a stable state which starts "When an algorithm running in parallel is to await a stable state...". Does that mean there's a step missing to go parallel before awaiting a stable state?
14:50
<annevk>
Ms2ger: yeah, there's potentially more borked as well. There's an issue tracking trying to get rid of "await a stable state"

The real question is did you find a bingo winner of an issue? https://bingobaker.com/view/8880946
