Sam > From what I hear, plenty of people support this draft, but I
desperately don't want to reopen the discussion, so I am asking if
there is *anybody* who would prefer that we publish the editors draft
as it was before this change was made.
Can someone give a link that lands close to one of these so I can be
sure what I am looking at?
Do all these start with an unusual character then the word and
punctuatuion "Warning!"
Are they all in red type in a red box?
"Stability
Different parts of this specification are at different levels of
maturity."
Maybe add a description of these notations somewhere like adding to
the pararaph above.
I object in a minor way to calling the comments "Warning" becasue they
are clearly not a technical warning in the technical communications
sense. A warning should state the hazard, what you might do to get in
trouble, and also tell the result of not heeding the warning. Also,
red is already used for other stuff.
p.warning:before { content: '\26A0 Warning! '; }
why does this generate text that is selected but not copied and won't
paste?
The string Warning! with whatever that leading character is in front
is not found by in page search.
example:
"In certain UAs, some elements don't trigger the "in body" mode
straight away, but instead get put into the head. Do we want to copy
that?
Should probably make end tags be ignored, so that
"</head><!-- --><html>" puts the comment before the root node (or
should we?)"
Other notations in red boxes, like at one that precedes 9.2.5.6, are
sort of the same but obviously different.
example:
"7.9.1 Introduction
This section is non-normative.
It's also currently non-existent."
An instance of a red box without a warning?
To me, that last line in a red box is not valuable
"There has got to be a better way of doing this, surely."
another one that seems out of place here, but I agree broadly with the
words.
"This API sucks..."
Another unlabeled red box with basically a rant as contents.
Again, not sure how this helps with no ref to issue or bug or
whatever.
Thank You and Best Regardes,
Joe
