WHATWG patches staged for merge week 38

Hi all,

Today, I have managed to get to WHATWG patch 7290 (inc) [1].
This relates to WHATWG work done before the 28th August.

(I was rather slow this week, because I made some mistakes last week
and there was a lot to plough through. I was more careful this week
and also created new bugs for patches that I thought were appropriate
to apply.)

This week we have the following new branches for your feedback.

PLEASE NOTE: you only ever have to look at the file called "source" to
give us feedback.


B1 (to land next week):

  It will close the following bug:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18886


B2 (undecided - feedback requested!):
=============================

* feature/whatwg_title
  This branch has several patches that address the problem of using
@title for accessibility.
  I would like to get help to decide which parts to apply.
  Review here:
  https://github.com/w3c/html/compare/master...feature;whatwg_title

  Relates to one bug:
  https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18875


B3 (postponed to HTML.next or not relevant):
==================================

*  feature/whatwg_canvas
  Review here:
  https://github.com/w3c/html/compare/master...feature;whatwg_canvas

  This one had two new patches relating to bug:
  https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17284

* feature/whatwg_cleanup
  This contains several updates to the WHATWG spec about the W3C spec.
  I think it can be applied safely without impact on the W3C spec,
  but we can also ignore it.
  Review here:
  https://github.com/w3c/html/compare/master...feature;whatwg_cleanup

* feature/whatwg_microdata
  Review here:
  https://github.com/w3c/html/compare/master...feature;whatwg_microdata

  I am planning to pull out a patch from this to branch for this bug:
  https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18882


Previous branches:
===============

We still have the following branches uncommitted that were not changed
this week:

* feature/whatwg_websockets (waiting for feedback from Arthur Barstow)
* feature/whatwg_table (removes the issue-155 decision on border=1 - I
am not sure about the current state of this)
* feature/whatwg_window_find (drops an existing API)
* feature/whatwg_inert
* feature/whatwg_inputmode
* feature/whatwg_srcset

For those who asked about the feature branch deletion strategy:
I have been deleting them when I landed them. And also I have been
landing them as individual patches, so there is basically no trace of
the committed feature branches left.
I have decided that from now on I will only land the
whatwg_patches_weekxxx branches as individual patches. Other branches
that I land, I will fast-forward, but land with a merge commit
("--no-ff" option). I still want to delete the branches after landing,
because otherwise we clutter up the github branches list (it's long
enough already).

Best Regards,
Silvia.
