Hi, The way we define WebIDL in ReSpec (using <dl><dt><dd>, now qualified as "oldschool") is going to be deprecated down the line: https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/395 The new approach (called contiguous WebIDL) uses proper WebIDL fragments with accompanying conventions for interlinking, cf: http://www.w3.org/respec/examples/webidl-contiguous.html At the moment, the two modes are maintained; but clearly there are plans for a time where the oldschool mode won't be specifically maintained any more. Switching from oldschool to contiguous is a non-trivial effort (see for instance the patch that was required to the bluetooth spec [1]); I think there are likely ways to automate or semi-automate it, in which I could look if we determine we should switch. But the main question at this point is whether we should switch, and for which specs? Dom 1. https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth/pull/102
