public-html-comments posting from: Patrick Mueller <pmuellr@gmail.com> http://www.w3.org/mid/BANLkTimFxigM8N2OhzEcEH5Ao74Kqq+50Q@mail.gmail.com I was looking over the onerror bits in http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html , and noticed that the sections #event-handler-attributes (6.1.6.1) and #runtime-script-errors (6.1.3.5) seem to differ: #event-handler-attributes * 1st argument is "event" * 3rd argument is "fileno" #runtime-script-errors * 1st argument is a DOMString message * 3rd argument is a line number I assume the intention is that the 3rd argument should be a line number and not "file number" (fileno). But should it be a DOMString? Why not a number type? For the first argument, calling the argument an "event" (in #event-handler-attributes) would kinda indicate to me that it's an event object, not a message. Perhaps these two sections are talking about different things, which would be even more confusing, since "onerror" seems to be a bit of a weird beast in any case. -- Patrick Mueller http://muellerware.org

If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: Fixed the "fileno" typo and corrected the type of the third argument to be "unsigned long". The first argument really is called "event" though, for legacy reasons. It's weird, I agree.
