16858 2012-04-25 20:01:34 +0000 Should creation of regions from elements be disallowed? 2014-01-30 01:29:16 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified CSS Regions unspecified All All RESOLVED WONTFIX P2 normal --- 1 stearns stearns bert eoconnor public-css-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 67055 0 stearns 2012-04-25 20:01:34 +0000 Bert Bos raised this issue on the telecon of 2012/04/25. I'll add in a link to the minutes once they're posted. His proposal is to not allow elements in HTML to be styled as regions. He prefers creating and/or using other mechanisms for generating region boxes. bert: request for notes: ... we should move out the things we /don't/ want eg the idea of elements being a region ... need a note saying that regions won't be created like that bert: I want to disallow bert: no redundant elements should exist in a web document 67056 1 stearns 2012-04-25 20:02:37 +0000 related comments from the telecon: stearns: that wasn't the resolution ... we never decided to disallow it; just discourage it glazou: don't want to disallow either bradk: By the way, I think the examples in the regions specs are fine, because they are simple and focus exclusively on the concepts they are trying to illustrate, without forcing you to read and understand some other spec about pseudo-element generation. And JavaScript generation of regular elements such as DIVs is a reasonable way to use regions. 74676 2 stearns 2012-09-27 22:45:20 +0000 minutes here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Apr/0757.html 98266 3 stearns 2014-01-10 20:24:07 +0000 You can search www-style for the bug number for the discussion of this issue over the years.
