Hixie then claims that the current spec trusts that authors wouldn't abuse the current model (as a matter of pride). He does make a good point about using current 'batch' tools to push large amounts of content, that will generate validator warnings in the current spec status but wouldn't if more granular detection methods were used. To me it seems that both use cases are valid and should somehow be accommodated. Authors are used to a more granular way of working with content (such as adding alternate text to individual images) but the method of bulk uploads etc is gaining traction. Therefore both use cases should be supported. -- 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.
