One of the themes at TPAC was that the current RH spec strays from the typical meaning of "hint" -- case in point, the whole notion of a "mandatory hint" is a misnomer. Also, there was some confusion about the use cases for "mandatory" vs. "optional" semantics enabled by the primitives. In an attempt to separate the concerns and clarify the use cases, I'd like to propose that we split RH into two pieces: (1) "Preload" spec that defines rel=preload with mandatory semantics (2) "Resource Hints" spec that defines rel=preconnect and extends rel=preload with optional semantics To that end, I've taken a first run at separating the two: - Preload: https://cdn.rawgit.com/w3c/resource-hints/d5027bffbf1eaa114c1d7906256339d118ea794a/index.html - Resource Hints: https://cdn.rawgit.com/w3c/resource-hints/e19f621dad9856a92bf43a06a62489c0058d19de/index.html Note that functionally there is *nothing new* in these drafts as compared to the previous RH draft. Instead, this is strictly an editorial update that aims to clarify the semantics and the use cases of the underlying primitives. Thoughts? ig
