How can I mark it up to make that clearer? (I considered using <abbr>, but I wasn't sure.) 77590 2 ian 2012-10-31 22:15:37 +0000 Just put it in the algorithm, along the lines of "if the byte in the pattern is 'TT', then...". Note that technically, "TT" isn't a "byte" as you've defined them. You might want to massage your terminology a bit so that the patterns are made of "pattern components" or some such, which can be either byte values or "TT" or something. 111889 3 gphemsley 2014-09-20 21:57:41 +0000 I've attempted to address this by adding more explicit markup and wording: https://github.com/whatwg/mimesniff/commit/444276e08f9cfdc7e40c1c33c1004aaeece35d0f I don't think that this is really that ambiguous, so I'm going to close this, but feel free to reopen if this isn't sufficient.
