Re: New Draft of Web MIDI Spec?

Hi, ChrisW, Jussi–

In prepping the Web MIDI API spec for publication, we made a few changes 
that you may want to sync up with the Editor's Draft:

* added a Feedback link to the Audio WG mailing list in the heading list
* updated the copyright statement (this is administrivia, but it 
currently says 2012-2015, when it should just say 2015)
* added "editor-data-id" attributes to the editor DDs
* fixed some duplicate IDs:

** idl-def-ForEachCallback (changed to 
idl-def-MIDIInputMap-ForEachCallback and 
idl-def-MIDIOutputMap-ForEachCallback)

** widl-ForEachCallback-id (changed to 
widl-MIDIInputMap-ForEachCallback-id and 
widl-MIDIOutputMap-ForEachCallback-id)

** widl-ForEachCallback-port (changed to 
widl-MIDIInputMap-ForEachCallback-port and 
widl-MIDIOutputMap-ForEachCallback-port)

* fixed a couple broken links:

** fragment #event-midiacces-disconnect (text "MIDIConnectionEvent") was 
not found, so I replaced the link with #idl-def-MIDIConnectionEvent 
(like other links with the same text)

** http://avd.io was 404, so I changed the link to http://juss.in/

If any of these changes are incorrect, please let me know.


The document is prepped and will be published on Thursday.

–Doug
