[closed] Re: a note on spec link usability

The working group deferred this issue to the editor.

I don't think it's confusing to use the same text for links to
different locations. Links occur in a context and that context is not
limited to the text of the link.

/ James Fuller <james.fuller.2007@gmail.com> was heard to say:
| I have noticed that the spec links to different things with the same name;
|
| for example;
|
| p:viewport in the body of the spec generally brings you to the
| definition of p:viewport
|
| whereas;
|
| clicking onto a p:viewport link in the error section brings one to
| where the error is cited in the text
|
| I think it is very useful to link back to text where error is cited,
| though I think the usage of multiple links with the same link text
| breaks most rules on usability ;)
|
| might consider some convention to differentiate these links

With respect to this specific example, there is a (subtle) distinction
already, the fonts are different :-)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
