https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28863 Bug ID: 28863 Summary: HTML5 spec, 2.4.5.7 Remove comment in source code and make a note or something similar Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec Assignee: dave.null@w3.org Reporter: stefan@duckflight.de QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-admin@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org Dear editors, a comment in the source code says, you don't know, if Nero's birth date is given in Julian or Gregorian calendar. So please don't state it as a fact which might be taken over by others. Otherwise we come to the age of internet falsedom, a growing weed where something written from an "authority" is taken as the truth without checking properly. Facebook or Twitter would be fine for that. Say either: if it would be Julian, it would be like that in Gregorian, or if it would be in Gregorian, it would be like that in Julian. So go both ways and you might find someone in the history department, who can put it right for the next edition. Or use the emperor "Nelix from Galactix" as an obvious fiction figure and make up a birth date in the Julian calendar and translate it into Gregorian. Yeah, I know it might not be a big thing, but I also count the peas that I put into my soup. ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
