Description Henri Sivonen 2010-09-03 08:04:43 UTC
"Style sheet blocking scripts" is confusing, because "style sheet-blocking scripts" would mean the opposite. The distinction is lost if you try to use spec terminology in programming language identifiers like AddStyleSheetBlockingScripts() and, in general, it's good to use spec terminology in implementation.

Please rename "style sheet blocking scripts" to "style sheet that is blocking scripts".

The same concern applies to "foo blocking bar" generally.

Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-09-25 22:08:22 UTC
(File new bugs for the other terms if there are any. I wasn't sure how to search for them given how often the term "blocking" appears in the spec.)
