fun.{caller,length} and various others are other instances of the same magical-data-property sadness, fwiw
00:31
<jwalden>
there used to be some for various instance properties of RegExps, and Strings, but I converted them into actual data properties awhile back with some effort
00:31
<jwalden>
much much less pain now from them

Hixie:

[[
02:12
<MikeSmith>
Currently you need a DOCTYPE, a character encoding declaration, a title,
02:12
<MikeSmith>
and some content.
02:12
<MikeSmith>
]]
02:12
<MikeSmith>
since when has the spec required some content?
07:39
<annevk>
MikeSmith: how is content defiend?
07:39
<annevk>
defined*
07:40
<MikeSmith>
annevk: dunno but I guess I assumed it means the body has to have some non-empty content
07:40
<MikeSmith>
regardless I can't find such a requirement in the spec
07:41
<MikeSmith>
(the context of me wondering about it is a recent message from Hixie to the whatwg list)
07:42
<MikeSmith>
annevk: in other news, what the hell is dude going on about in https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17659
07:43
<MikeSmith>
"XML lacks native hypermedia affordances, which makes attainment of it's #1 goal impossible"
07:43
<annevk>
I like it
07:43
<MikeSmith>
"seven hypermedia "atoms" which can be recombined, six of which are tried and true, the seventh which will hopefully become so"
07:44
<annevk>
sounds like he wants xml:href, but maybe he's trying to become President of the US instead via an elaborate workaround
07:44
<MikeSmith>
hahaha
07:44
<MikeSmith>
annevk: OK I guess I should re-assign that bug to you
07:44
<benvie>
lord of rings
07:46
<MikeSmith>
or I think I'll post a comment "Marking this as invalid because it lacks mention of RDF."
07:47
<MikeSmith>
btw I wonder if anybody knows how to get the whatwg mailing-list server to add a Archived-At header
07:49
<MikeSmith>
for e.g., http://www.w3.org/mid/Pine.LNX.4.64.1206292028360.30734⊙pdc
07:49
<annevk>
MikeSmith: haha
07:50
<annevk>
MikeSmith: the software is from DreamHost
07:50
<MikeSmith>
oh
07:50
<annevk>
or well, they provide it I think
07:50
<MikeSmith>
it's mailman, right?
07:51
<annevk>
yup
07:52
<MikeSmith>
google says mailman v3 apparently has some support for it
07:52
<annevk>
MikeSmith: found http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Stable+URLs from 2009
07:52
<MikeSmith>
yeah
07:52
<MikeSmith>
I think they've since added it
07:56
<annevk>
there's some discussion about this every now and then
07:56
<annevk>
I think Philip` had some notes too
07:56
<MikeSmith>
ok
07:56
<annevk>
but I think our main bottleneck is DreamHost
07:57
<MikeSmith>
could solve that by changing to a VM hosting service where you have root
07:59
<annevk>
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Discussion_Lists
07:59
<annevk>
well they'd prolly allow you to run your own software
07:59
<annevk>
I just don't think we have anyone who wants to maintain that
08:01
<annevk>
anyone here with an account on that wiki? could add the request to the talk page
08:02
<Hixie>
MikeSmith: there's a should or something somewhere, look for something like "palpable content"
08:02
<MikeSmith>
ah
08:02
<MikeSmith>
Hixie: OK, thanks
08:05
<MikeSmith>
me finds "Conformance checkers are encouraged to provide a mechanism for authors to find elements that fail to fulfill this requirement, as an authoring aid."
08:05
<MikeSmith>
will open a validator bug for adding that
09:43
<Ms2ger>
Oh look, unprefixed IDB
11:54
<sarspazam>
i really do <3 normalise css
13:11
<tomasf>
does anyone actually use chunk-extension in chunked transfer encoding for anything? if so, what?
13:11
<tomasf>
(;key=value;foo=bar after hexadecimal chunk length, before CRLF)
19:13
<Velmont>
[14:16] <Ms2ger> jgraham / zcorpan: any of you who feels like explaining http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/file/a38857de5129/Workers/tests/submissions/Opera/constructors/Worker/004.html to me? :)
19:13
<Velmont>
[14:21] <jgraham> Really, putting "author Odin Hørthe Omdal <odinho⊙oc>" on the display of a file he never touched is just silly
19:14
<Velmont>
jgraham: Yeah, it's just more Mercurial pecuilar "features". That one just says I was the last to touch the entire repository. So it says odinho at everything...
19:35
<Ms2ger>
Velmont, I bet it says Ms2ger now
19:40
<Velmont>
Ms2ger: Not that link, it never will, because it's not at tip.
20:54
<jgraham>
Yeah, I'm going with "bug", although I suppose the hgweb would argue "feature"
20:54

TabAtkins_: Where is the work you're doing on color? Is it available somewhere?
21:11
<annevk>
hmm
21:11
<annevk>
www-style is about a thousand emails a month
21:11
<annevk>
did they really think discussing Fullscreen there was a great idea?
21:12
<annevk>
aahhh great
21:12
<annevk>
the editor's draft suggests whatwg⊙wo
21:49
<gsnedders>
annevk: whatwg is more emails, though!
