That's what I was proposing earlier, but everyone seemed to think it was a terrible idea. :-) Regarding the other point — it's not that I want to be able to provide an explicit name (I'd be fine even with just saying that dirname with no value defaults to name+".dir") but that "submitdir" isn't understood. "dirname" is certainly not ideal, but it has the advantage of precedent — "dir" and "name" are the two attributes most closely related to what we're doing here. I'm certainly open to better names, but people think "submitdir" means "the directory you submit to" (similar to "action"; someone even suggested renaming it "actiondir"), so that's just not going to fly. It's unclear what you would misinterpret dirname="foodir" as being, if you didn't know what it was. Not knowing what it is far less of a problem than being confident that it is something different than what it really is. -- 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.
