http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10922 Summary: Use normative keywords (MUST/SHOULD/MAY) in other metadata section Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All URL: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/semantics.html#other-meta data-names OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: martin.kliehm@namics.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Depends on: 10920 I suggest in bug #10920 to remove this text entirely. However, if it is to stay, normative keywords MUST be used within this section. For example, these first two sentences are ambiguous: "Extensions to the predefined set of metadata names may be registered in the WHATWG Wiki MetaExtensions page. [WHATWGWIKI] "Anyone is free to edit the WHATWG Wiki MetaExtensions page at any time to add a type. These new names must be specified with the following information:" Metadata names may or MAY be registered? What does "anybody is free" mean in a specification? The new names must or MUST be specified? And why does the HTML5 specification bother to specify what people write in a wiki elsewhere? -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
