http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12695 Summary: Grandfather <link rel="shortcut icon"> Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: hsivonen@iki.fi QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org # [20:10] <hsivonen> Hixie: data point: After I added rel and name checking to Validator.nu, 5 people gave me feedback almost immediately # [20:11] <hsivonen> Hixie: 4 of the 5 people were concerned about rel="shortcut icon" # [20:12] <hsivonen> Hixie: considering how popular "shortcut icon" is and considering that Microsoft was the first to mint it before other implemented just "icon", it would make sense to grandfather "shortcut icon" # [20:12] <hsivonen> Hixie: right now, to make the validator not suck, I have to register "shortcut" # [20:12] <hsivonen> Hixie: which means that rel="shortcut" becomes valid # [20:12] <hsivonen> Hixie: which is bogus # [20:12] <hsivonen> Hixie: but the closest approximation that the registration mechanism provides # [20:13] <hsivonen> Hixie: also, the 5th person was interested in the registration of "shortcut" afterwards # [07:44] <Hixie> hsivonen: agreed on "shortcut"; file a bug and i'll make the spec say you can precede "icon" with "shortcut" Demos: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/shortcut-icon/ Conclusion from the demos: The spec should allow the token "shortcut" to be the token immediately to the left of "icon" if there is a single space between them. (The only reason for allowing "shortcut" is compatibility with IE and rel="shortcut icon" with multiple spaces between "shortcut" and "icon" is not IE-compatible.) -- 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.
