Shouldn&apos;t `ping` be readonly?

    <thetext>Why would it be readonly? Wouldn&apos;t that mean you couldn&apos;t set it (using the [PutForwards] facility)?</thetext>

    <thetext>No, in fact you have to use readonly to use [PutForwards].

&gt; The [PutForwards] extended attribute must not be used on an attribute that is not read only.

    <thetext>(In reply to Anthony Ramine from comment #3)
&gt; Is there anything blocking the change here?

I think there isn’t—it&apos;s just that right now the process for getting fixes made in the spec is bit slow.

So if this is blocking you on anything, I think the best strategy for the time being is to ask for feedback about in on #whatwg and/or on whatwg@whatwg.org, and then just proceed with what you need to do, based on whatever the prevailing agreement there seems to be from the people you discuss it with there.</thetext>
