12641 2011-05-10 05:29:00 +0000 make dfn for "space characters" and "White_Space characters" visible in the non-implementor view 2011-08-16 04:33:34 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG LC1 HTML5 spec unspecified PC All RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 mike ian ian mike public-html-admin public-html-wg-issue-tracking public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 48404 0 mike 2011-05-10 05:29:00 +0000 Problem: The non-implementor-only view of the spec contains references to the term "space characters, but readers of the non-implementor view are not provided with a description of exactly which characters the spec defines as space characters The cause is that the current source markup of the spec has class=impl on the entirety of the "Common parser idioms" subsection of the "Common microsyntaxes" section of the spec. And that subsection contains the dfn for "space characters". Incidentally, the same subsection also contains the dfn's for "White_Space characters" and "alphanumeric ASCII characters". Suggestion solution: Remove the class=impl on the div wrapping the "Common parser idioms" subsection, then put class=impl on only those following paragraphs in that subsection which are actually only relevant to implementors. I'm not sure if some other non-implementor-only parts of the spec contain references to "White_Space characters", but if any do, I guess the dfn for that should be available in the non-implementor view as well. And as far as "alphanumeric ASCII characters", it seems likely that some non-implementor-only part of the spec does make reference to that, so probably it too should not be class=impl 50705 1 mike 2011-07-06 04:28:27 +0000 Some data: The term "space characters" is referenced 40+ times in various non-impl parts of the spec; e.g.: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/spec.html#concept-id http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/spec.html#text-content The term "White_space" is referenced two times in non-impl parts of the spec, both in the "Vaguer moments in time" section: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/spec.html#valid-date-or-time-string-in-content http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/spec.html#valid-date-string-in-content-with-optional-time The term "alphanumeric ASCII characters" is actually not referenced anywhere at all in any non-impl parts of the spec. 53718 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:16:40 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 55180 3 ian 2011-08-16 04:32:00 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
