http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7475 --- Comment #13 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> 2010-09-02 14:09:35 --- (In reply to comment #12) ]] 4.12.4.18.1 Link type "first" The first keyword may be used with link, a, and area elements. This keyword creates a hyperlink. The first keyword indicates that the document is part of a sequence, and that the link is leading to the document that is the first logical document in the sequence. Synonyms: For historical reasons, user agents must also treat the keywords "begin" and "start" like the first keyword. [[ Issue annotation: Summary: the problem is that 'start' is defined as synonym for 'first. 'start' is today mainly treated as synonym for "start page/home page". Start page is very common word for 'home page' in the non-English world. Thus it should be treated as synonym for 'top' instead. ]] 4.12.4.17.1 Link type "index" The index keyword may be used with link, a, and area elements. This keyword creates a hyperlink. The index keyword indicates that the document is part of a hierarchical structure, and that the link is leading to the document that is the top of the hierarchy. It conveys more information when used with the up keyword (q.v.). Synonyms: For historical reasons, user agents must also treat the keywords "top", "contents", and "toc" like the index keyword.[[ Issue annotation: 0. Ian suggest to conflate many link types which are treated as different link types in the wild. E.g Alexandre's table shows that mst user agents/user agent addons see 'top', 'index' and 'toc' as different things. Only 'toc' and 'contents' are often seen as same thing. What does Ian expect? That e.g. iCab offers a much simpler links relations toolbar in order to treat these things as synonyms? 1. 'User agents and use agent addons treats 'index' as index page in the book sense of the word (index in a book). Only Wordpress breaks that and uses Ian's dumbed down (Apache's index.html pages) interpretation. (However, Wordpress makes scarce use of link type - and the fewer link types one uses, then of course, the more synonymous - in practically speaking - does those terms become.) 2. Since the starting point is wrong, then it becomes meaningless to say that 'top'/'content'/'toc' should be considered synonyms of 'index'. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
