(CSSOM is also wrong on that part, currently.) 95378 1 ian 2013-10-25 23:36:13 +0000 Yeah, hence the comment. (This is old text I haven't looked at in a while.) So we're sure that we can't defer alt style sheets for Web compat? 95416 2 zcorpan 2013-10-28 08:22:13 +0000 Deferring would make the API basically not work, and it seems people are more interested in keeping the API working than exposing alternate stylesheets in the UI. The Web compat situation isn't super clear but there was basically no interest in killing alternative stylesheets. 95473 3 ian 2013-10-28 21:44:02 +0000 Roger. I've removed that paragraph for now. 95475 4 contributor 2013-10-28 21:45:37 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8244. Check-in comment: Browsers can't delay alt style sheets and remain Web compatible, apparently. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=8243&to=8244
