ISSUE-17 (media-queries-tab-preprocessing): Vertical tab preprocessing for media queries [HTML 5 spec] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/ Raised by: Shawn Medero On product: HTML 5 spec ## Summary > Please define a preprocessing step that turns vtabs into spaces before media query parsing. Raised by Henri Sivonen [on IRC][3] and [the mailing list][1] in response to [a discussion that occurred on the www-style list][2]. > <hsivonen> Hixie: did you see the whitespace discrepancy point I mentioned on www-style? > <hsivonen> Hixie: If you've told me why vertical tab is space in HTML5, I have forgotten > <Hixie> whitespace means several things just within HTML5 > <Hixie> let alone when compared to other specs like Unicode, XML, JS, or CSS, each of which has their own definition > <Hixie> iirc VT is included because implementations include it > <hsivonen> OK. In that case, I suggest media queries should inherit the set of white space characters from the host language > <hsivonen> as a conformance requirement, it would be highly silly that VT in HTML5 were ok between class name tokens but not between media query tokens > <Hixie> or i could define a preprocessing step in HTML5 to normalise the whitespace first > <Hixie> (for media queries( > <Hixie> )) [1]: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Nov/0206.html [2]: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Nov/0142.html [3]: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/html-wg/20071114#l-259
