Maybe even "content type", since that's the name of the attribute? Also, do we really need this feature? Please reassign to me if you change the term. 55465 3 contributor 2011-08-19 04:16:03 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r6515. Check-in comment: DOM Core compatibility (Document.contentType values) http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=6514&to=6515 61778 4 annevk 2011-12-19 13:02:13 +0000 Because I'm always over thinking naming I decided to take a long time to decide "content type" is fine. https://bitbucket.org/ms2ger/dom-core/changeset/ae2a18547a16 The feature allows for distinguishing between the various types of formats that instantiate a Document when loaded in a browsing context. Slightly more useful than characterSet and introduced mostly because more browsers want to implement it. By the way, I also renamed "character encoding" to "encoding" (concept-document-encoding). 62696 5 ian 2012-01-13 23:11:07 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
