I really strongly recommend using the full spec where these problems don't come up: http://whatwg.org/c I'll add a reference. 58614 2 ian 2011-10-21 02:54:49 +0000 There's already a reference to the HTML spec. It's assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic types defined in that spec. 58625 3 glenn 2011-10-21 06:51:16 +0000 I would like to see an either a link from the use of Transferable to the definition in HTML5 or an explicit mention of Transferable as a dependent type defined in HTML5. In particular, under 2.1 Dependencies, there is the text: "HTML Many fundamental concepts from HTML are used by this specification. [HTML]" I wish to make certain that every normatively fundamental concept (including types) that are defined in HTML5 and used by this specification are either explicitly linked or are enumerated under 2.1 Dependencies. I would suggest that linking would be preferable to enumerating. G. 123520 4 art.barstow 2015-10-06 12:26:36 +0000 The 24-Sept-2015 WD of Web Workers <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-workers-20150924/> has two references to the Transferable object as defined in HTML5 <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/infrastructure.html#transferable-objects>. Given this, I think we can consider this bug as fixed.
