ISSUE-42: RDFa API should use 'string' instead of 'DOMString' in the WebIDL

DOMString vs. string

RDFa API should use 'string' instead of 'DOMString' in the WebIDL

State:
CLOSED
Product:
RDFa 1.1 API
Raised by:
Manu Sporny
Opened on:
2010-08-12
Description:
At one point it was noted that the DOMString type doesn't make sense for non-DOM environments that implement the RDFa API. We should determine whether or not the DOMString type maps cleanly to environments like Python, C, C++ and other non-DOM programming environments.

Related notes:

Proposal to close ISSUE-42 met no resistance, especially since the technical solution gave us no alternative but DOMString.
