http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13465 --- Comment #6 from Manu Sporny <msporny@digitalbazaar.com> 2011-08-21 19:08:18 UTC --- This requirement places an unnecessary burden on Web authors, e.g. forcing those that author in imperial or metric units to the opposite method, as well as forcing how they express units of measurement counter to common cultural practices. For example, requiring all recipes to be expressed in imperial units or all recipes to be expressed in metric units is unnecessary when a computer could do a simple conversion from one to the other. While the ideal world would have everyone standardized on a single system of units, we don't live in an ideal world. Forcing the users of a particular vocabulary to use a system of measurement that is unfamiliar to them is an unnecessary requirement. The resolution does not address my concern. The editor has responded in the same way in the past and there is no reason to believe that he will change his mind now. I do not plan to escalate this issue, but note that this is a bad design decision, IMHO. -- 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.
