Either a definition is just not needed, or it needs to be elaborated upon so that it is made clear why the definition is needed. 111888 1 gphemsley 2014-09-20 21:56:00 +0000 I've attempted to make the definition of "byte sequence" less tautological and more obviously notable: "A byte sequence is a list of one or more bytes, such that the position of the first byte and the position of the last byte are unambiguously identifiable." https://github.com/whatwg/mimesniff/commit/6936e7323b7bbff4f1f047bfa50b06c8a259889b I'm going to assume this addresses your concern, but feel free to reopen if you feel it doesn't.
