Re: Battery Status API Last Call Feedback ( LC-2574)

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your LC comments! It took me a while to get back to you as I was away for a while.

"The attribute must be set to false if the battery is discharging" and "When the battery charging state is updated, the user agent must queue a task which sets the charging attribute's value" would be better if all the requirements where in the latter statement and you would just define the attribute as returning its value.

Fixed. Your proposal seems much clearer to me.

I think I borrowed this grouping from one of your specs, perhaps from XHR:

  http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#event-handlers

... but ReSpec.js automatically creates and populates the Attributes section, thus there are stubs such as:

[[

onchargingchange of type Function, nullable
No exceptions.

]]

Those stubs are indeed a bit redundant. Given that we migrated to even more awesome ReSpec.js v2, those may be configurable. Robin?

Anyway, we may also get rid of the Event handlers section -- whatever is the best practice works for me.

Here's the latest spec:

  http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dap/raw-file/tip/battery/Overview.html

And the changeset:

  http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dap/rev/03e88712c839

Thanks again! Let us know if something else needs fixin'
