The spec should be consistent with HTTP because of its dependency on HTTP. 27544 1 ian 2009-09-22 11:51:51 +0000 RFC2616 is the one unnecessarily introducing new terminology here. A resource is a bag of bits, and HTML5 consistently uses that term throughout. 27546 2 julian.reschke 2009-09-22 12:32:57 +0000 Mike, it appears this one needs to be escalated. 27552 3 nikunj.mehta 2009-09-22 14:00:04 +0000 HTTP's definition of resource vs representation has stood since 1996 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1945#section-1.2). Even if HTML5 consistently uses resource in place of representation, it is incorrect to do so since those reading HTTP in conjunction with HTML5 would be confused. 27632 4 mike 2009-09-24 08:03:19 +0000 escalated to tracker: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/81/ 27636 5 mike 2009-09-24 08:37:37 +0000 Now that this is a tracker issue, I'm moving the status for this bug here back to Resolved 33483 6 mjs 2010-03-14 14:51:32 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
