http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10834 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #4 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2010-09-30 07:36:25 UTC --- Every single time anything to do with GC is mentioned in the spec, it's because of cases like that. Acid3 for example has a subtest that actually tests the ownerDocument case I mentioned (or maybe it was parentNode, something equivalent though), and there were browsers that failed it, and while I could make the argument in comment 2 as a way to justify the test, having something explicitly there is makes life a heck of a lot less difficult when you're trying to convince an implementor to change their code. EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: If you have a concrete example of something that the text in the spec prevents you from implementing, which should be implementable, then let me know, and I'll rephrase the text -- but I disagree on the overall principle that we shouldn't be talking about GC because it theoretically can't have any effect. It can, and does, and is a source of bugs, and we should be as explicit about such things as we can when striving for interoperability. -- 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.
