| 06:46 | <MikeSmith> | GPHemsley: IIRC you’re the admin for https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Main_Page. If so I could use your help: When logged out I can view any page there as expected, but when logged in, every time I try to view any page there I just get “A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.” |
| 08:16 | <MikeSmith> | Domenic: why do custom element names allow U+200C and U+200D ('ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER' and 'ZERO WIDTH JOINER') |
| 08:18 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: does XML not? |
| 08:19 | <MikeSmith> | annevk: dunno |
| 08:19 | <MikeSmith> | are the allowe characters based on what is allowed in XML names? |
| 08:21 | <MikeSmith> | ah OK am looking at https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-NameStartChar now |
| 08:22 | <MikeSmith> | seems weird allow non-printing characters in element names |
| 08:23 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: intersection of XML and HTML iirc |
| 08:23 | <MikeSmith> | OK |
| 08:24 | <MikeSmith> | well it seems bad to allow names that won’t survive simple copy/paste |
| 08:25 | <MikeSmith> | or maybe rather that if a user types the name manually based on looking and it, but ends up with something different despite no visual/observable difference |
| 08:57 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: restricting artificial code points can also make things trickier |
| 10:05 | <MikeSmith> | so “foo-” is a valid custom element name? |
| 10:05 | <MikeSmith> | based on https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#valid-custom-element-name |
| 10:06 | <MikeSmith> | that is, the name can end in a hypher? |
| 10:06 | <MikeSmith> | *hyphen |
| 12:14 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: yeah think so |
| 12:14 | <MikeSmith> | OK |
| 13:30 | <MikeSmith> | GPHemsley: and now I get no error any longer when logged in and visiting the wiki. Go figure |
| 21:51 | <weinig> | really trivial spec question to ether, should the IDL for HTMLImageElement (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#the-img-element) have the referrerPolicy attribute use the enum defined in https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-referrer-policy/#referrer-policy? |
| 21:55 | <Domenic> | weinig: no, but it's a tricky question... |
| 21:55 | <Domenic> | weinig: until recently we never used enums for reflected attributes |
| 21:55 | <weinig> | I see |
| 21:55 | <Domenic> | We introduced the first one for <link as>, but that's controversial because we bundled that with the decision that the reflection should be case-sensistive |

| 21:56 | <weinig> | Domenic: cool cool, thanks |
