For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: I added this, because I think it's useful to implementors to know ahead of time what the return value is, but the algorithms vary a lot in their style, and I don't think consistency across all of them is beneficial enough to justify going out of our way to make them consistent, given the danger of doing that. So consistency isn't really a convincing argument, IMHO. 28971 2 contributor 2009-10-25 06:49:24 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r4326. Check-in comment: Mention what the algorithm can return. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=4325&to=4326
