public-html-diffs@w3.org from October 2011 by subject
hixie: (WIP - MIMESNIFF has not yet been updated accordingly) Change the spec to use MIMESNIFF rules for text tracks instead of blindly honouring MIME types. (whatwg r6721)
hixie: Compatibility fix for how events are fired when nothing is focused and there's no body element. Also, editorial tweaks around how drag and drop events are fired to the body element. (whatwg r6753)
hixie: Define the concept of 'palpable content' so that we can better define the 'should'-level requirement equivalent to HTML4's 'paragraphs must not be empty'. This might be overkill. On the other hand, this might be useful in the future in defining other requirements. (whatwg r6640)
hixie: Drop <time> and replace it with <data>. Drop the Atom conversion section entirely. Convert a bunch of examples that used to use <time pubdate> to using schema.org, to show how to annotate publication dates and the like in a machine-processable way. (whatwg r6783)
hixie: Fix the <frameset> rendering rule to trigger when 'the body element' is frameset, not just when the second child of the root element is. (whatwg r6663)
hixie: Rephrase how EventSource is protected from garbage collection to make more sense. Note that EventSource objects are allowed to survive the bfcache (unlike, say, WebSocket connections). (whatwg r6624)
hixie: Simplification in the microsyntax parsing rules, which makes non-negative integers accept leading - and + characters (- only for -0 of course). (whatwg r6717)
hixie: Try to clarify that global HTML attributes aren't global across other namespaces without having to litter '...and is an HTML element' all over the spec. (whatwg r6754)
hixie: Try to tidy up some more of the Unicode/code unit mess with a probably over-reaching definition (there's over 2000 uses of the word 'character' in the text, so I didn't check that all of them use this new definition... hopefully it works out; otherwise, we'll just have to try something else again). (whatwg r6648)
microdata; hixie: Drop <time> and replace it with <data>. Drop the Atom conversion section entirely. Convert a bunch of examples that used to use <time pubdate> to using schema.org, to show how to annotate publication dates and the like in a machine-processable way. (whatwg r6783)
microdata; hixie: Redefine itemtype='' to allow multiple types if they share the same vocabulary. This was by far the most frequently made request at the recent schema.org event (whatwg r6668)
microdata; hixie: Try to clarify that global HTML attributes aren't global across other namespaces without having to litter '...and is an HTML element' all over the spec. (whatwg r6754)
postmsg; hixie: Clarify that you can transfer a port more than once by avoiding confusing terminology that suggested otherwise. (see also r6653) (whatwg r6696)
postmsg; hixie: Make postMessage() accept the second and third arguments in either order. Compat with WebKit and hopefully solves the difficulty people have about remembering which goes first. (whatwg r6690)
postmsg; hixie: Update postMessage() to do the transfers after the cloning so that if cloning fails, the transferables don't get killed. (whatwg r6697)
SSE; hixie: Rephrase how EventSource is protected from garbage collection to make more sense. Note that EventSource objects are allowed to survive the bfcache (unlike, say, WebSocket connections). (whatwg r6624)
