8114 2009-10-28 13:36:46 +0000 Section "months" should be renamed to "year-months". This is clearer, and allows the spec to add a section just handling months (without years) in the future. 2010-10-04 13:55:14 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML WG pre-LC1 HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) unspecified Other other CLOSED WONTFIX http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#months P3 normal LC 1 contributor ian ian mike public-html-admin public-html-wg-issue-tracking scolebourne public-html-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 29170 0 contributor 2009-10-28 13:36:46 +0000 Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#months Comment: Section "months" should be renamed to "year-months".

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: I think "year-months" and "year-weeks" would be confusing. I agree that we would need to change it in the future if we introduced a yearless-month widget (though why <select> wouldn't be enough I don't know), but changing it now would be premature, IMHO. 30041 3 scolebourne 2009-12-09 15:09:23 +0000 Well, the spec certainly wasn't clear to me until I read the detail. I fear others will take longer to understand the spec than necessary too.
