Just an memory aide KimPatch: Simon: decentralized responsibility -- HTML 5 has a set of tools to allow you to do this so therefore you can create something, some new element but it's decentralized no one else knows about it. The problem is providing updates to deal with that. [19:15] KimPatch: Simon: decentralized extensibility --that's what's worrisome -- can add more functionality on without having to get pushed up through the W3C procedure anymore [19:16] sharper: http://simon.harper.name/2010/07/06/decentralized-extensibility-worries-the-bejesus-out-of-me/ [19:16] KimPatch: Greg: browsers ignore as they do now any elements they can't recognize? [19:17] KimPatch: Simon: reading from link [19:17] sharper: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Feb/0085.html [19:20] KimPatch: Simon: maybe ought to clarify what's going on [19:21] sharper: HTML5 specification should provide mechanism for using custom (or [19:21] sharper: user/vendor defined) elements with fallback mechanism that handles [19:21] sharper: elements unknown to the implementation. [19:21] sharper: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Feb/0188.html Maybe we need to have an sc which says The User Agent should provide mechanism for using custom (or user/vendor defined) elements with fallback mechanism that handles elements unknown to the implementation. Cheers -- Si. PS I check my email at 08:00 and 17:00 GMT.
