ISSUE-86 (atom-id-stability): HTML5 relaxes Atom requirement on atom:id stability [HTML 5 spec] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/86 Raised by: Julian Reschke On product: HTML 5 spec >From http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#atom: "9... Otherwise Let id be a user-agent-defined undereferenceable yet globally unique valid absolute URL. The same absolute URL should be generated for each run of this algorithm when given the same input. Let has-alternate be false." But RFC 4287 states: "When an Atom Document is relocated, migrated, syndicated, republished, exported, or imported, the content of its atom:id element MUST NOT change." -- http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4287.html#rfc.section.4.2.6 So it appears that HTML5 tries to relax that requirement. Suggested fix: either just reference the requirement in the base spec, or make it a "must". See http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7806,Received on Friday, 23 October 2009 16:25:32 GMT
