This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The spec says "For a language, address what effect an error (be it syntactic or semantic) in the input has to a processor of this language. For a protocol, address how should behave a party to this protocol when a bogus message is received." For things that are not languages and not protocols, what is required?
What do you do if you are defining an API where you would define an error mechanism, or other types of specifications? Suggest putting in a general statement like, For each class of product that is affected by an error condition, address how the error is handled. Then provide examples, recasting current text for protocols/languages as examples and include API example. ACTION: Reword text and include examples Dom 15 March RESOLUTION: agree with the TAG and will make appropriate changes to the text
new text reads: """or each class of product that is affected by an error condition, address how the error is handled. For instance: for a language, address what effect an error (be it syntactic or semantic) in the input has to a processor of this language; for a protocol, address how a party to this protocol should behave when a bogus message is received; for an A.P.I., indicate what exceptions are raised.
