This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#changesToNetworkingModel Comment: This section should reference "matches a fallback namespace" in step 3. Posted from: 213.236.208.22
Why? The "matches..." algorithm is for the generic case of matching any appcache; the network model's third step is about when loading from a cache that is already selected.
This is now step 4. First it says "and there is a fallback namespace in the application cache that is a prefix match" Then it says "the resource of the fallback entry corresponding to the matched namespace". The problem here is that it is at best ambiguous what "matched namespace" refers to.
Ok, tried to fix...
Checked in as WHATWG revision r4180. Check-in comment: Try to make this less ambiguous. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4179&to=4180
