Re: WHATWG patches staged for merge week 38

Hi Silvia,

I have been looking at the title attribute related changes
[https://github.com/w3c/html/compare/master...feature;whatwg_title]
some are relevant/appropriate, some are not, what is the best way to
provide feedback? I can add comments in github on the relevant lines
if that is ok?


regards
Steve
