If a select or datalist element has its data attribute manipulated via the DOM, then the prefilling process must start as soon as any executing scripts have run to completion. If the attribute is set multiple times during one execution of a script, only the last request must take effect. If the process is started while an outstanding prefilling request is still being attended to, the requests must all be serviced in the order they were started. > Also, is "incremental" case-insensitive as noted at the end of section > 2.3? Or does that not apply to this attribute value? "exact literal string" seems pretty clear to me (it's sensitive). The attributes doesn't take a list of values, so 2.3's sentence doesn't apply anyway. This will all be made much clearer when it gets integrated into HTML5. WF2 is a hard-to-fix mess. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
