Last I heard, Adam was going to be writing it. I would also be unblocked if the IRI work at the IETF were to actually happen (it was supposed to happen about 2 years ago now). There was a also a recent HTML WG decision to put the requirements into the HTML spec. The decision starts with text that is known to be broken and so also requires editing work; however, it's possible that I'll end up updating that before Adam's work is done, in which case I'll use that instead. Either way this particular bug isn't likely to be fixed in a hurry. In practice it's not a huge blocker; in fact I'm not sure it's a blocker at all, as it is possible that the WebSocket protocol spec now defines how this issue is handled anyway, in which case the bug won't actually block the API spec. I'll find out when the edits to the protocol spec are done and I get to update the API spec for the new protocol spec. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
