wonders why nobody but Mozilla updates their Bugzilla installations

gets the sense that Google appends " - WhatWG" to every search result from whatwg.org
00:16
<GPHemsley>
actually, www.whatwg.org
00:16
<GPHemsley>
(or else, somewhere the server is serving the crawler a different page than the browser?)
00:18
<GPHemsley>
it might specifically be only results from the HTML spec
00:18
<GPHemsley>
(hard to tell)
17:26
<GPHemsley>
hmm... the WebVTT spec doesn't have the feature of clicking on a definition to find all its uses... :(
17:28
<GPHemsley>
which makes it difficult for me to determine what happens when the WebVTT parser algorithm fails/aborts
17:35

wonders if other specifications define "media elements" that aren't <audio> or <video>
17:41
<Ms2ger>
svg:video?
18:15
<GPHemsley>
hmm... IANA registrations in HTML section 16 are inconsistent with how they specify magic numbers
18:16
<GPHemsley>
including how/whether they specify that a UTF-8 BOM is allowed
18:29

gsnedders: we should at least offer a migration guide in the docs, I guess.
18:29
<ambv>
it seems simpletree was in fact used ;-)
19:11
<GPHemsley>
does anyone know if "text/css" is defined in any modern CSS document?
19:12
<Ms2ger>
If not CSS2.1, probably now
19:12
<Ms2ger>
not*
19:14
<GPHemsley>
such definitions are usually listed in sections entitled "IANA Considerations", of which there are none in CSS2.1
19:14
<GPHemsley>
CSSOM mentions "text/css", but I think in a CSS-internal kind of way
19:15
<Ms2ger>
FWIW, I think "IANA Considerations" may well be a Hixieism
19:17
<GPHemsley>
not AFAICT
19:17
<GPHemsley>
I think it actually originates from the IETF
19:18
<GPHemsley>
BCP 26: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5226
19:18
<GPHemsley>
"Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs"
19:19
<GPHemsley>
And this document is referenced by RFC 6838, which specifies the latest requirements for registering a MIME type: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838
19:20
<GPHemsley>
specifically, in section 3.1: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838#section-3.1
19:20
<Ms2ger>
Ah, interesting
19:20
<GPHemsley>
given that the text/css registration on file dates from 1998, it seems to me that it might be a good idea to re-register it using the latest RFC
19:20
<GPHemsley>
on file with IANA, that is
19:21
<GPHemsley>
specifically, from RFC 2318
19:21
<GPHemsley>
probably within css3-syntax or somesuch
19:22
<GPHemsley>
or css-syntax, I guess it's now called

Looks like I accidentally ended up in a wormhole that left me in 2001
19:26
<GPHemsley>
those wormholes can be fun

Hixie: In the "resource selection algorithm", step 9(otherwise)(17) references the "process candidate" step, which is not in the execution chain of 9(otherwise)(17)
20:30
<Ms2ger>
File a bug, he isn't here :)
20:30
<GPHemsley>
That is, the "process candidate" step is in step 9(if "mode" is "attribute")(1)
20:30
<GPHemsley>
meh
20:30
<GPHemsley>
so formal
20:32
Ms2ger
imagines a bug in a three-piece suit
20:32

indeed, that is a very apt visual

annevk: Are we moving towards not having "Standard" in the title of our specs?

<GPHemsley>
Does anyone here happen to know anything about the new (March 29, 2013) MIME type "application/font-sfnt" beyond what is in the IANA registration?
23:52
<GPHemsley>
(or perhaps have access to the ISO/IEC 14496-22 "Open Font Format" specification
23:52
<GPHemsley>
?)
23:54
<GPHemsley>
Oh, nevermind; it's a Publicly Available Standard
