Hi, It has been on our charter to write a specification for "prerender". Please check: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html#link-type-prefetch It seems logical to specify the behavior of <link rel="prerender"> in this document. Do folks agree? Or should there be a separate document? Of course, we would need the editors of the HTML5.1 spec to agree that this belongs in their specification. My suggestion for the text is as follows. Any comments? 4.13.5.10 Link type "prerender" The prerender keyword may be used with a link<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html#the-link-element> element. This keyword creates an external resource link<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html#external-resource-link> . The prerender keyword indicates that preemptively fetching and loading the specified resource in a hidden top-level browsing context<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html#top-level-browsing-context>is likely to be beneficial, as it is highly likely that the user will navigate to this resource. If the resource is navigated to, the user agent may replace the current browsing context with the one it loaded the specified resource in. The user agent may discard the browsing context corresponding to the prerendered resource if any of the following is true: - If the resource is not navigated to within a reasonable amount of time. - If the user navigates to some other resource from the current browsing context. - If the link element is removed from the document. There is no default type for resources given by the prerender keyword.
